Printing Tips: The Standard Details were developed for printing on Tabloid (11" x 17") size paper.  They may be printed on Tabloid (11" x 17") or Legal (8.5" x 14") size paper and retain sufficient detail and text size to remain useful.  We do not recommend printing on Letter (8.5" x 11")  size paper. Remember to un-check the " Choose paper source by page size" check box when printing to any size other than Tabloid.  You may also need to select "Fit to Printable Area" in the Page Scaling drop down box.
