Follow the steps below to register a custom paper size. Define custom paper sizes on the [Other] tab and then you can
use registered custom paper sizes.
Registering a custom paper size
You can register up to 40 custom paper sizes in [Custom Paper Size]. You can select the size that you specify in
[Original Paper Size] and [Print Paper Size] on the [Basic] tab.
The paper sizes that can be registered and the number of definitions vary depending on the models. Refer to non-
standard size in the Specifications Guide for details on the custom paper sizes that you can register.
To set a [Custom Paper Size], access the Printing Preferences dialog from the [Devices and Printers] folder
(Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008: [Printers] folder). You cannot make settings if you display the printer driver
properties from the application's [Print] dialog box.
You can only set the [Custom Paper Size] with administrator privilege.
You can use the custom paper size for the Universal Printer 2 (PCL6) / Universal PS3 / Universal XPS printer drivers.
