Batch Plot - need help setting up default page size

The 'default' for the batch plot is the wrong size. The current method I'm using is changing each page of the set one by one to the correct page size (20+ sheets) in the batch plot command, but this is tedious and slow. Is there a command or method to set the page layout default to the output size without needing to change each page one at a time? 

A screencap attached shows the default at 24x36  where 30x42 is the actual page layout. 

Thank you.

default? There is no such thing if you did not set it up yourself, but there is "random" which is what you get if you do not pre-plan your output.

If you only ever wish to start PUBLISH to create and set up your pagesetups, then:
1. Launch Publish from a drawing that is not part of the publish set, but is configured with all your possible sheets and plotter options you wish to use (a pre-created Template file completed by you, or a previous DWG file with a pagesetup already created).
2. Bring in all the drawings/tabs to be published.
3. Import the pagesetup desired from the template file (in your case, one set up for exacting desired output).
4. PUBLISH.

OR

A) Open a DWG file or template file that contains the page setup you need.
B) Use the publish command for plotting.
C) After selecting all the drawings to publish, highlight them all then pick on the Page setup for the first one in the list.
D) Select import and select your template then pick the setup you need. This setup will be applied to every drawing highlighted.

Give it a shot.
