The printers around the NCI campus are stocked with A3 & A4 paper. Therefore, in order to print a document, it will have to be formatted into the A3 or A4 sizes. Printing in a size other than this will result in your document disappearing from the print queue and an insert paper error message appearing. Below are the steps required to format either a Word, PowerPoint or PDF documents for print.

Word

  1. First open the word document you want to print
  2. Navigate to the Layout tab
  3. Select Size
  4. Select either A4 or A3
  5. Save and then print your document

  5. Click Ok
  6. Save and print your document
