% of Normal Size option The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100 percent of the normal size. The normal size is defined as the media size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the media size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer.
First Page Only check box When First Page Only is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First Page Only check box is not available when the current watermark selection is "(none)". Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per Sheet is set to "4" and First Page Only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page). Edit button (Watermark Details) Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.
■ Font Attributes Current Watermarks The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that you have created.

size media, any option that you select from the available Use Different Paper/Covers options must also use Letter-size media. Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.
■ Letterhead ■ Transparency ■ Prepunched ■ Labels ■ Bond ■ Recycled ■ Color ■ Cardstock ■ Rough ■ Envelope The default setting is Unspecified, and the program selects the media type. If you select a different setting, make sure that the correct media type is loaded in the tray that you selected in the Source is: setting. For more information about media types, see the Media attributes section of this guide.
When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains one of two things, depending on the current paper-size selection on the Paper tab: ■ If the paper-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu contains the name of that custom size. ■ If the paper-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default name Untitled (plus a number sign "#" and a numerical value) for a custom media size.
Save, Delete, or Rename The dynamic command button located under the Name drop-down menu has three possible labels: Save, Delete, and Rename. ■ Save is the button title whenever the height and width values have been changed since the most recent save action or since the selection of an existing custom media size. Clicking the button causes the name in the Name drop-down menu to be compared against each of the saved names.
