Confusion with paper sizes in Elements 8

I have been using Photoshop Elements for years with my MAC , ever since it first came out and have never had this encounter with the paper size menu. When printing a photo I #1 designate which printer I am using ( Canon Pro9000) and then #2 try to select a paper size but the drop down menu has a list of sizes I can't decifer. US letter is there as well as legal but what is DMSIZE_MINUS_ 8x10, DMSIZE_6GIRI, DMSIZE_L, JB5, etc. Has anyone else come up with this problem? I need a translation. My daughter has the same problem with her copy of Elements. Is this a bug in the program?
Thanks,
Lorinda

When you launch print dialog of elements, the values in dropdowns are populated based on the printer selected/installed on your machine. However, in some cases it may be possible that the pritinter driver does not return the correct names of paper choices and can show junk values.
This however has not been found in latest MAC OS but may be seen in Tiger or old versions of MAC with some of the old printer of some of the manufacturers.
However, when you choose these paper sizes, the sizes are also shown in preview section.
Let me know if you have any comments.

  • Print with paper size custom?

    Hi, how to print width paper size defined by me?, actually printjob class have the selectpapersize method  with differents sizes(a4, a3, a5, letter, etc), but i need have a paper size custom,  example 500x450

    Unfortunately, there isn't a customer print size api at this time.  However, there are two things I'd recommend.  First, I'd like to encourage you to cast your vote for the the existing feature requests on our ideas.adobe.com site (here and here).
    You might also want to take a look at this post, which describes how you might be able to work around this with a bit of trial and error.

  • CONFUSED with Cache size versus Increment by in Sequence

    Dear all,
    I have a sequence that has the following attributes
    MINVALUE 1
    MAXVALUE 9999999999999
    CACHE SIZE 20
    INCREMENT BY 1
    and tested with SELECT * FROM all_sequences and verified the above attributes.
    The issue is when used, it started at 21 and has been incrementing by 20. Is it because of the Cache size overriding Increment by? I am totally confused. Please help...
    Thank you,

    As long as the Sequence is in the Library Cache in the Shared Pool, you will get increments of 1.
    However, as with any other object in the Shared Pool, a Sequence can get "aged out" of the Shared Pool if Oracle has insufficient memory to allocate for new SQLs. If it does get aged out, at the next load back into memory, it will come back with a value of 21. If you keep hitting the Sequence and keep it "busy" (ie hot), it will return 22, 23, 24 etc. If you use it infrequently and your shared pool size is small, it might be exited out of the shared pool and, at the next call, return with a value of 40 !
    See MetaLink Note#61760.1 on using DBMS_SHARED_POOL.KEEP to "pin" Sequences and other objects. If you "keep" too many objects in the shared pool , you may end up getting ORA-4031 errors !
    Note : Even if you pin your shared pool you can still "lose" values when :
    a. SHUTDOWN, STARTUP cycle happens
    b. Transactions allocate a sequence but do a rollback (a sequence increment does not get rolled-back)

  • Confused with optimum size and publishing

    It seems like it should be a fairly straightforward process to select a project size at the start of a Captivate project and then publish at the end and watching Adobe videos saying how easy it all is now to publish across platforms with HTML5 etc you would think so.
    When I started my current project I selected 1024 x 768 as I have a large main screen, plus two smaller screens here at work. When I went to publish, I selected both swf and HTML5 and selected scalable HTML content. I then saved the .htm file to my web folder here at work and then viewed the new link. My default web browser is Firefox and I was horrified to see the movie appear as a tiny postage stamp size on the screen. Also when I tried it on my smartphone, clicking on the buttons caused the slides to jump too far ahead.
    I then decided to re-save my project and re-size it to iPad landscape. I then published two different versions, the original 1024 x 768 version as swf with scalable HTML content and a second re-sized iPad version as HTML5 with no scalable HTML. Both versions worked fine on either pc (scaling nicely for the different sized screens I have) and also worked fine on my smartphone. However, in Firefox I still got the postage stamp sized movie.
    I am now trying a new re-sized project as 995 x 627 and my intention is not to use scalable HTML content and publish it to both swf and HTML5 and see how that looks on everything.
    My question  is if you were tasked to create a Captivate project that needs to look great on pcs, laptops, tablets and smartphones without having to use scroll bars to view all the content on each page, firstly what size would you choose for your project and which settings would you use when publishing (i.e. would you select scalable HTML)?

    There isn’t a one-size-fits-all (no pun intended) size for Captivate trainings that will look perfect on multiple devices. If you need to have the training viewable on multiple devices then you should use the scalable options when publishing. Without scaling you’ll end up with scrollbars on devices that use varying resolutions and can’t fit all the content onscreen. The only way not making content scalable would be possible is if Captivate had a device aware function that allows the content to fit the screen, like you can code in Dreamweaver, but that would seriously increase your development time.
    The Firefox problem has to do with a bit of code that Captivate uses in the html templates. Open the html file that’s generated with your published files and remove the text "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" from the first line. Then when the file is opened in Firefox it won’t display the content really tiny. You can also remove this from your template files so it’s never included when you publish.

  • Printing "save as pdf postscript" yields problem with paper size

    when I "save as pdf postscript" my 8.5 by 8.5 pages doc, it shrinks and ends up right justified in the PDFX1A 2001 version...this only happens with this particular file--all I can think is that I used a lot of text wrapping around graphs and that messed it up, please help!

    nevermind! I figured out the problem--I needed to click on "view" and check "hide comments", which were being included in the PDF, making it smalled on the left side of the page

  • With Oki ML395 and Epson FX-1170 printers the paper size is incorrect

    I've tried printing to an Oki ML 395 and an Epson FX-1170 (both dot matrix), through code, but the paper size is never the one that I configured.
    The behaviour is the same for both printers.
    I have set the Oki printer as the Windows default and also the report default, and chose the paper size "Fanfold 210mm x 12 in".
    Then, when I preview the report, click the button to print and access the print options the paper size selected is always "Letter".
    If I don't preview first, the print is always done with paper size "Letter".
    I tried it on the designer and it works ok.
    I tried changing the paper size to "A4" and it also works ok. Some paper sizes are correctly identified, while others are not and in theat case its used the paper size "Letter".
    In these cases the CR used is 2008 SP3 and the .NET framework is 3.5 SP1.
    My OS is Windows Vista but I have also seen this happen in XP, and the drivers installed are the ones from the OS.
    I have also checked if the printers are unicode compliant and there is no mention on the specifications.
    I've seen some issues with these kind of printers, but never this.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Considering that the Epson printer driver was last updated in 2003 and the Oki printer has never been updated I highly doubt they are unicode compliant.
    You may try to determine the enum of the page size and pass that to the report, but that is the only idea I have...
    The attached devcap utility may help.

  • DISABLING COLOR MANAGEMENT & PAPER SIZE

    After some struggling and considerable surfing the internet, I managed to get my HP Deskjet printer output producing the proper colors.
    However I still have an ongoing problem with paper size and orientation.
    I have Photoshop Elements 7 running under Windows XP.
    Under the current set up, under "Page Setup" in the print dialog box, I can select 6x4 borderless and landscape orientation, but the printer will still print it in portrait orientation on 8.5 x 11" paper. I have seen many times where I have selected "Landscape" in Photoshop but the image in the preview windows shows Portrait. Or the preview is oriented portrait but the picture within the preview is a cropped landscape version of the image. Or the preview picture is landscape but the landscape-portrait button shows portrait. Obviously there are portrait images and portrait printings, but Photoshop seems to get them confused and wants to print a landscape image in a portrait orientation.
    If I hit "Print" and then go to "Preferences" in the Windows printer dialog box, if I select "landscape borderless 6x4", it will print a 6x4 image on letter sized paper, ignoring the orientation and paper size I selected. And if I re-enter the Windows printer dialog box, will show "letter" again as the current paper size, although I had not selected that previously.
    I have "Photoshop Elements manages colors" selected, but then a warning message appears asking if I have disabled color management in the printer preferences dialog. I cannot find any way to disable color management in Windows XP or in Photoshop. (If this has anything to do with my problem.)

  • Problems printing to large paper size

    Hi,
    Using Acrobat 9
    In my work, I use different programs for floorplans and renderings. I send to my Customers the documents as PDF file , and usually the scaled floorplans are in  large paper size (22x34 or up)
    With one of the CAD programs, all works fine with paper size up to size C,  but if I choose, for example, Ansi D, I see a screen "Creating Adobe PDF" but nothing happens, the bar doesn't move and the file is not printed / saved
    I'd appreciate any idea to solve this issue
    TIA

    There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.)  Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge.  Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file.  Hope this helps.

  • Paper Size Error: The specified custom paper size is not supported in the selected tray.

    This happens when I try to print a web page using firefox. When I copy and paste the same yrl into safari and select that page in Safari it prints without a problem.

    Hello Bhumika2 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues with paper sizes.
    Seeing that the operating system is 10.5, the printer is not supported on this version.  I suggest that you check for apple updates and see if anything is available.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Unable to set paper size in SSRS (it always remain Letter)

    I am making a report in SSRS (SQL Server 2012). The main report has many sub reports under it. All main and sub reports have the following properties:
    Orientation: Landscape
    Margins: Custom
    Paper Size: A4
    When I export the report in Word, it always shows Paper Size as "Letter" and I have to change it to "A4" in it. Orientation and Margins are correctly exported. What's the problem with Paper Size? Why doesn't it export correct Paper Size
    as defined in SSRS which is "A4" and always resort to "Letter"?
    I see another use has same problem but no solution was identified.

    EDIT
    I just created a new basic test report with one Tablix in it. It is also showing same behavior i.e. even though I have set Paper Size to A4 when I export the report in Word, it changes to "Letter".

    Hi Frank,
    I viewed XML file for a report. The xml file doesn't store paper size name.
    <PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>0.25in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.5in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.5in</BottomMargin>
    Thanks.
    Remember to mark as an answer if this post has helped you.
    This is my master report file and looks like it has correct values. Because orientation is landscape hence height is smaller than width in my case.
    <PageHeight>8.27in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11.69in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>1in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.25in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.25in</BottomMargin>

  • Setting postcard as custom paper size in Page Setup

    I am once again in trouble with paper sizes and printing. I want to print standard postcards (13.9 cm wide, 8.8 cm high). I opened a word processor, went to File -> Page Setup, set the printer to Stylus Photo R340; then -> paper size -> manage custom sizes. I set the width and height, set the margins to the printer's ones and named the size 'Postcard (landscape)'.
    When I wanted to print a card, I went to Paper Handling -> Scale to fit paper size, I chose 'Postcard (landscape)', un-checked 'Scale down only' and printed. What happened? The card went straight through and my text was printed on the rollers after the card had gone. In other words the printer ignored the postcard paper size and printed as if I had put an A4 or other letter-sized sheet in. What am I doing wrong? This happens with various word-processors.
    eMac G4, 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R340
    eMac G4, 1.25 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I now have some further detailed information, which makes it all seem even more bizarre. I have now carefully tried three word processors, and I have also tried some slightly different paper size specifications:
    WORD: 13.88 x 8.80 works. Size appears under 'Paper handling'.
    APPLEWORKS and MELLEL: 13.88 x 8.80 does not work; size does not appear under 'Paper handling' — 'Scale to fit' has to be used, but does not do anything.
    ALL THREE: 13.90 x 8.90 works. Size appears under 'Paper handling'. 14.00 x 9.00 also works correctly in all three WPs.
    I should be really interested in an explanation, if anyone could supply one.

  • Epson 810 - 10.6 and PS Elements 8 paper size options?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (now at 10.6.8). I have an Epson Artesian 810 that worked fine wirelessly. Finally got everything working again, however, all the paper size options have changed  -- but it seems only in PS Elements 8.0. I used to have a long, intelligible list of paper size options, including specific sizes for the photo paper tray. Now, this is greatly reduced.
    Anyone seen anything like this? When I try and print in Preview, the print options are all there. I'm wondering if upgrading to Elements 9.0 will fix the problem and get all my options back. I print all my photos through Elements.

    Matthew, I dont' have an answer for your problem but wonder if you can help me with mine. I also have an R800 but since installing SL cannot get it to work correctly.
    Initially I could print from it but had no printer settings.
    When the new driver was issued by Epson a few days ago I thought my problem was solved. Downloaded driver and attempted to install but ran into a peculiar problem. As you know the install starts, downloads several files and then gives you the option to quit or continue. Not knowing which files have been downloaded I selected continue. However, this scenario continues ad infinitum and the only way I can quit the program is to do a force quit. I mean like I can literally sit for any time period you want to name and the install continue as if it's in a loop.
    I have since deleted all epson files contained in library and in sys.pref.
    Second attempt to install resulted in what appeared to be a normal setup including printer settings but now the printer will not print. Message reads error:/library/printer/epson
    I feel that there must be some epson files left behind from the first install attempt but I don't seem to find them.
    I've contacted epson and the only reply I got from them was 'download driver and install'.
    After that lengthy explanation I have two questions.
    First one, when installing the downloaded file should I quit the setup when the first query to continue or quit occurs, if not when?
    Second question, where else would you look to be sure all the epson files are deleted before attempting a second install.
    Really appreciate any help.

  • Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

    Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it.  I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes.  With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray.  While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
    One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray.  It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope.  Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing.  I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray.  I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
    My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310.  I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray.  To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7.  The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray.  Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
    The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets."  The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
    If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful!  I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.
    Regards.
