Guide.
Defining Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.
NOTE:
• When setting the paper size on the print driver and the operator panel, be sure to specify the same size as the actual print
media used. Setting the wrong size for printing can cause printer failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size
when using a narrow width paper.
• Using the Windows Print Driver
On the Windows print driver, set the custom size in the Custom Paper Size dialog box. This section explains the
procedure using Windows 7 as an example.
An administrator's password only allows users with administrator rights to change the settings. Users without
administrator rights can only view the contents.
