Set Paper Size and Paper Source Defaults for Printing Forms

You can specify the paper size and paper source to be used when forms are printed.

To set paper size and paper source properties for a form

1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
2. Double-click the Form Documents folder. The folder expands to show several subfolders.
3. Click the Properties for New Forms folder. The window changes to show options that control the properties of newly created forms.
4. At the Sides drop-down list, select one of the available options:
   • Choose Single-sided to print the form on one side of the paper.
   • Choose Double-sided, side-to-side to print the form on both sides of the paper, so consecutive pages read like a book.
   • Choose Double-sided, top-to-bottom to print the form on both sides of the paper, so consecutive pages read like a flip-chart.
5. At the Paper Size drop-down list, select one of the available options.
6. At the Paper Source drop-down list, select one of the available options.

Paper size and source settings are recommendations that will be passed on to the printer if possible. If printing via acrobat then paper size, paper source and duplex options will revert to your defaults.

The changes you make are not applied to existing templates. The changes won't take effect until you create a new template.

You can use command-line options to specify these printing properties. See the Paper Tray and Paper Size command-line options.
