The Page Setup window
Print a Test Copy:
Always print a test copy on blank paper to be sure your print job prints as expected. After printing the test copy:
1. Measure the dimensions of the antenna on the paper with a ruler.
2. Be sure there is sufficient area from which to cut out 2 four-inch diameter circles
3. (Important!) Be sure that you can visually see the separation of all lines of the individual design AND
the space between each design. If you cannot see these spacings, it is likely that the patterns cannot be
successfully cut apart and your antenna may “short” out – were it to actually be used.
Printing to Transparency
After you have successfully printed a test copy (as explained above) load a transparency:
1. The transparency has a rough side and a smooth side. The rough side should be face-down in the printer.
2. The arrows on the transparency should point into the printer, and be face up.
3. Allow about 2 minutes for the transparency to dry in the printer before removing it. Once removed, test
a corner of the print out to test for dryness.
