Printing at home can save time and money; however, you must really understand the program and the capabilities of the printer (printing machine) if you want to print in non-standard sizes. Half-page documents, or 21 x 14 cm paper, can be printed directly or two at a time on one page on standard-sized letter paper. The page size must match the printer paper size using the options available on the printer.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Printing a 21 x 14 Cm Document
Step 1. Open a word processing program
Create a new document. Click File then select “Page Setup”.
Step 2. Look at the drop down menu that says “Paper Size”
View and select one of the following options: Statement, Organizer L, Half Letter. These are all names for 21 x 28 cm paper.
Step 3. Choose A5 paper, which is a slightly different size
A5 paper is actually 14 x 21 cm, but can still be used.
Step 4. Click “Ok” to save the settings
Finish editing the document. Save the document.
Step 5. Click the File menu and select “Print”
Look for “Paper Settings” or “Paper Handling” in the dialog box. Select the menu to view paper options.
Step 6. Look for the column that says “Scale to fit paper size”
Click the column, then select the desired paper size. Print settings will vary slightly by program and operating system so you will have to experiment with selecting the correct paper size in the printing menu.
Step 7. Place the half-letter paper (14 x 21 cm) on top of the filling tray
Be sure to adjust the tray so that it fits on the paper. You will be prompted to open and adjust it properly.
Step 8. Try a different paper size and format, such as A5 format, if the first try doesn't work
Method 2 of 2: Printing a 21 x 14 Cm Document on Letter Paper
Step 1. Open the document in a word processing program
Leave the default paper size 21 x 28 cm in the Page Setup menu.
Step 2. Use the ruler on the side of the word processing program to insert a line at the 14 cm mark, or in the middle of the profile page
Step 3. Create a document above the line
Then copy the contents of the document and paste it under the line. This is the setup method for printing a document in duplicate.
Step 4. Save your file
Select the File menu and click “Print”. Print using the default settings.
Step 5. Print on regular printer or copier paper
Then take the document and cut it into two parts on the 14 cm line using scissors or a paper cutter
