I would print one card as a test to make sure the setup and orientation results are as expected. Verify the rest of your setup in the Word > File > Print page If you like, click " Save as" and save your setup.įor example, save as "Little 3X5 inch card - Landscape" Select Index card 3X5 inches (or whatever you named your little custom form) If you are using Word > Layout > Size = 3x5 inch index card >
HOW TO PRINT ON 3X5 INDEX CARDS QUIZLET SOFTWARE
Orientation can be tricky and much might depend on the software you are using to submit the job to the printer. But you have to pay attention to what was changed to make sure you are going to get what you want.Ĭannot get what you want no matter what? I don't have a fix for that - depends on "what" is wrong, stuck, rejected. Sometimes if you forget something, the software will actually offer to automatically fix any conflicts. I wish I could be more specific about this "combination" effect. Disallowed (illegal) combinations are marked with the tiny yellow triangle. Source = tray 1 - again, sometimes it is a matter of "the order in which you select" that either allows or "disallows" a combination. Not always, but sometimes you have to select the paper size and THEN the Media type to keep the little yellow triangle of doom from disallowing your "combination" of paper type, paper size, and tray. Paper size = your new little custom form. The point is to choose something that will tell the printer the paper is "thicker" than normal paper without tripping of the printer's "sensor" for photo paper. For example, if all else fails, choose brochure or Presentation. Media type = (paper type) Index card or similar, maybe "card stock". Remove the paper from the main tray - load in a small stack of your Index cards (at least five to maybe fifteen cards), face side down, short end front and back. Many printers restrict the photo tray to one or possibly two sizes of paper, usually (not always) of Media type (kind of paper) Photo. Hint: Start with an "Index" card of similar size to create your custom paper form.
