    1. From the Toolbox, add the C1PrintPreviewControl and C1PrintDocument controls to your project.
    2. Click C1PrintPreviewControl1 to select it and in the Properties window set its Document property to C1PrintDocument1.
    3. Add the following code to the Form_Load event:

      // Make the document.    
MakeDoc();

    pl.PageSettings = New C1.C1Preview.C1PageSettings()    
    pl.PageSettings.PaperKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Legal    
    Me.C1PrintDocument1.PageLayouts.Default = pl    
End Sub

      C#
      Copy Code 
      private void MakeDoc()    
{

    // Define the page layout for the document.    
    C1.C1Preview.PageLayout pl = new C1.C1Preview.PageLayout();    
    pl.PageSettings = new C1.C1Preview.C1PageSettings();    
    pl.PageSettings.PaperKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Legal;   
    this.c1PrintDocument1.PageLayouts.Default = pl;    
}
