Defining a Custom Paper Size
Before printing, define a custom size on the print driver.
Note:
When defining a paper size on the print driver or the operator panel, be sure to specify the same size as the
actual print media used. Specifying a wrong size for printing can cause a printer failure. This is especially
true if you specify a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
Using the Windows Print Driver
On the Windows print driver, define a custom size in the
Custom Paper Size
dialog box. This section
explains the procedure using Windows 7 as an example.
On Windows XP or later, only users with administrator rights can use the administrator's password to
change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can only view the contents.
