The procedure for displaying the [Document Properties] dialog box may differ depending on the application you are using.
6. Display the [Page Setup] sheet and specify the paper size or page setup.
Page Size:
Display the [Page Size] pull-down menu, then select the desired page size by clicking it. The page sizes that can be selected are as follows:
- Standard Paper Sizes (Sizes from A3 to A5 and from Legal to Executive)
- Envelopes (Envelope DL, Envelope COM10, Envelope C5, Envelope Monarch, and Envelope B5)

NOTE
a. When printing on paper that is of the same size as [Page Size], select [Match Page Size].
b. If you select a paper size that differs from [Page Size], the print will be automatically reduced or enlarged to fit on the page.
c. When A3 or B4 is selected for [Page Size], and [Match Page Size] is selected for [Output Size], the size of print data is automatically reduced to be printed on A4 size (default) paper.
d. If you can specify the page size, print copies, and orientation in the application you are using, you do not have to specify the settings in the [Page Setup] sheet.
Copies:
Allows you to specify the number of copies to be printed.
Click the arrows for [Copies] or enter a number from the keypad. You can specify from 1 to 999 print copies.
