How to Print Birthday Cards on A4 Paper

You can print birthday cards on A4 paper.

You've created and personalized a birthday card for your friend, but just realized the only paper you have on hand for printing is A4 paper. Don't panic; the PC Mag website explains, "A4 paper is slightly narrower and a little longer than "A" size 8.5" x 11" paper." In general A4 paper, with the exception of North America, is the standard letter size. Which means printing birthday cards on A4 paper is only slightly different than printing birthday cards on standard letter-sized paper.

Instructions

1. Load the A4 paper into your printer.

2. Click on the word "File" located at the top of your computer screen. A drop down menu will appear. Click on the word "Print."

3. Click on the word "Properties." Another window will appear with a variety of options. Click the "Paper sizes" button and select the "A4 210x297mm" option. Click "OK." The window will close, leaving you at the print window which initially popped up.

4. Click "OK." The printer will print your card on the A4 paper.
