Chris,

Don't have a 2400 so can't give you step by step, but what I can say is that
in these situations I do a simple test print the same size as I plan to
print but with just the 4 corners marked out on the print and then I test
print on some cheap, maybe plain paper of the right size to make sure I have
the correct settings. Its quick simple and cheap.
