How to Setup the 2x2 Sticker Size Option

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a custom paper size (2 inches by 2 inches) from the print server properties menu in Windows. This can be useful for printing labels, stickers, or other small items.

Note: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows and the print server software you are using.

1. Open the Print Server Properties:

• Go to the Control Panel and search for "Devices and Printers" or "Printers & Scanners".

• Right-click on the printer you want to modify and select "Printer Properties" or "Printing Preferences".

• Look for a tab labeled "Advanced" or "Print Server Properties" and click on it.

2. Create a New Form:

• In the Print Server Properties window, find the section for "Forms" or "Paper Sizes".

• Click on the "Create a New Form" or "Add" button.

3. Specify the Custom Paper Size:

• Give the new form a name (e.g., "2x2 Label").

• Set the Paper Size units to "Inches".

• Enter "1.97" for the Width and "2" for the Height.

• Adjust any other settings as needed (e.g., margins).

• Click "Save" or "OK" to create the new form.

4. Apply the New Paper Size to the Printer:

• Go back to the Printer Properties or Printing Preferences window.

• In the Paper or Paper/Quality tab, select the newly created paper size (e.g., "2x2 Label") from the drop-down menu.

• Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.

• If the new paper size is not showing up:

• Make sure you have saved the new form correctly in the Print Server Properties.

• Restart the Print Spooler service. You can do this by going to the Control Panel, searching for "Services", finding the "Print Spooler" service, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Restart".

• Restart your computer.

• If you are having trouble printing:

• Check that the paper is loaded correctly in the printer tray.

• Make sure the printer driver is up to date.

• Consult the printer manual or manufacturer's website for further troubleshooting steps.

• Test Print: Always do a test print on a plain sheet of paper before printing on your final material.

• Paper Type: Make sure to select the correct paper type in your printer settings (e.g., plain paper, labels, cardstock) to ensure optimal print quality.

• Printer Compatibility: Not all printers may support custom paper sizes. Consult your printer's documentation for compatibility information.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully set up and print on a 2 in x 2 in paper size from the print server properties menu in Windows. If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting tips or consult your printer's documentation for further assistance.
