Using Custom Paper Sizes
You can print on custom paper sizes that are within the minimum and maximum size range supported by the
printer. For details, refer to Supported Paper.
DEFINING CUSTOM PAPER SIZES
To print on custom paper sizes, define the custom width and length of the paper in the print driver software and on
the printer control panel. When setting the paper size, ensure that you specify the same size as the paper in the
tray. Setting the wrong size can cause a printer error. Print driver settings override control panel settings when you
print using the print driver software on your computer.
Note: To print using long media or banner paper, select the appropriate banner paper size, or define a new
custom paper size.
Creating and Saving Custom Paper Sizes in the Print Driver
Custom-size paper settings are saved in the print driver and are available for you to select in all your applications.
Use the custom-size paper settings to define a custom paper size for long media or banner paper.
For details on supported paper sizes for each tray, refer to Supported Paper.
For further details about creating and saving custom paper sizes in the print driver, click the HHeellpp ((??)) button in the
bottom-left corner of the printer settings window.
