How to set custom paper in Windows XP

One of the author's dot matrix printers has been used normally, and the operating system has been upgraded to Windows XP by installing a new set of software. Unexpectedly, I found a problem that was not too big. Originally, under Windows 98, the printer's custom paper setting options were gone, and I needed non-standard paper printing. After some exploration, I found a solution.

Click "Start → Settings → Printers and Faxes" and select "Print Server Properties" in "File" in the window that appears. In the pop-up properties dialog box, click "Create new format", and then give the name you created in the table name above. Enter the size of the custom paper in "Format Description (Size)". Note that the unit of metric is cm instead of 0.1mm in Windows 98. Don't make a mistake. Finally, click “Save Format”. After you finish, click “Close” to use the custom size paper under Windows XP.

Win XP also converts image formats in batches

Normally, when you convert a large number of BMP format images into JPG format images, you will use Photshop, ACDSee and other software to complete. What if I don't have these software? Don't worry, Windows XP has a simple batch conversion function. It should be noted that this method can only convert the BMP format to JPG format. The specific method is as follows:

Select the BMP image to be converted and click the right mouse button. In the pop-up menu, choose Send to → Mail Recipient. A "Send photo by email" window will pop up. Select the "Reduce all photos" option in the window and select the size of the image, click the "OK" button. Windows XP will then automatically convert these BMP images into JPG format images and pop up a “send email” window. We just need to save the converted images and we're done. And its conversion quality is not inferior to the conversion with professional software.
