Print it at full size
If it prints even a little small, your 3-way turnout won't fit your ties. Three quick checks:
- ● Actual size○ Fit to pagePick "Actual size" or "100%"It's in your print window, under Scale or Page sizing.
- Fit to pageShrink to fitNever "Fit to page"It shrinks the template to fit the paper, so it comes out too small.
- Check the 2 inch barLay a ruler on the bar at the bottom of the page. It should measure exactly 2 inches.
Joining the pages
This template prints on more than one page of Letter, A4 and Legal paper.
Only one page gets cut. The pages overlap. Each new page is trimmed and laid over the one before it.
Trim page 2Cut along the dotted line, from the top edge of the paper to the bottom. Throw the strip away. Leave page 1 whole.Longer templates: do the same to each page after that.
Lay it over the page beforePut the cut edge right on the thin guide line. Line up the crosses, the rails and the tie gap.
Tape it in stagesPut a small piece of tape at the top and check it's lined up exactly. Then a small piece at the bottom. Once both are right, run a long piece down the front and the back.The line across the join should measure what the page says, like 4 inches.
