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.
