The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes.
NOTE When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from
an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
You can specify size for all of the settings in the Paper Options group box. When you set the media
size in the driver, the entire print-job output uses that media size. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size
media, any option that you select from the available Use different paper for: options must also use
Letter-size media.
Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is generally
best to use the driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size setting, such
as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.
NOTE Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media
sizes within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product,
a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or choose another
tray.
For information about media sizes, see the Media attributes section of this manual.
