Defining Custom Paper Sizes
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.
Creating and Saving Custom Paper Sizes in the Print Driver
Custom-size paper settings are saved in the print driver and are available for you to select in all your
