Printing Custom Size Paper
This section explains how to print on custom size paper using the print driver.
The way to load custom size paper is the same as the one to load standard size paper.
• "Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 160
• "Loading Print Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 168
• "Setting Paper Sizes and Types" on page 179
Defining Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.
NOTE:
•
When setting the paper size on the print driver and the operator panel, be sure to specify the same size as the
actual print media used. Setting the wrong size for printing can cause printer failure. This is especially true if
you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
• Using the Windows Print Driver
On the Windows print driver, set the custom size in the
Custom Paper Size
dialog box. This section
explains the procedure using Windows 7 as an example.
An administrator’s password only allows users with administrator rights to change the settings. Users
without the rights of administrator can only view the contents.
