Notes:
•
The custom size defined must be within the maximum and minimum size ranges for the printer
paper tray you are using. For details, see the custom size paper ranges given for each tray in
Supported Paper
on page 48.
•
You can create custom paper sizes for use with both the PostScript and PCL print drivers, but the
method for each is different. For optimum success, follow the instructions carefully.
•
If you get an error message when creating a custom size, you could lack permission to save
custom paper sizes on your computer system. See your system administrator for help.
Defining the Custom Page Size in the PostScript Driver
Note:
This method does not allow you to save the custom size under a unique name in the print
driver. You can save only one custom page size at a time in the PostScript Custom Size Settings
window of the print driver. Once saved, the dimensions are retained until you change them. You
can create a custom paper size for the PostScript driver and save it under a unique name for repeat
use. For instructions, see
Creating a Custom Paper Size for the PostScript Driver
on page 79.
