You can create up to 10 custom paper sizes and add them to the Paper 
Size list using the User Defined option. This is useful if you’re printing a 
custom size document, such as a banner. You can select any width from 
3.5 to 9.5 inches, and any height (length) from 3.5 to 44 inches.

Follow these steps to create a User Defined paper size:

Follow the steps in 

Printing from Windows

software, then click the Paper tab.

Click the Paper Size list and scroll to the bottom of it using the arrows 

or scroll bar. 

Click the User Defined option. You see the following dialog box:

Type a name (up to 24 characters) for your custom paper size in the 

Paper Size Name field. Then select a Paper Width and Paper Height 
for the paper. To use centimeters instead of inches, click the 0.01cm 
option. When you’re finished, click Save. The paper size name 
appears in the Paper Size list in the dialog box. Add more sizes if you 
want, and click OK when you’re done.

The Paper Width and 
Paper Height units 
are in hundredth of an 
inch (or centimeter) 
increments. For

8.50 inches.
