Printing on Non-standard Size Paper
This section explains how to print on custom size paper such as long paper using the PCL
print driver.
Custom size paper can be loaded in each tray. The paper sizes that can be selected on this
printer are as follows:
Note
• The way to load custom size paper in the paper tray is the same as the one to load standard size paper.
For details, refer to "Loading Paper in a Paper Tray" (P. 76).
• The way to load custom size paper in the Manual Feeder is the same as the one to load standard size
paper. For details, refer to "Loading Paper in the Manual Feeder" (P. 77).
Loading Non-standard Size Paper
The procedure for loading non-standard size paper is the same as for standard-size paper.
Refer to "4.2 Loading Paper" (P. 76).
Registering Non-standard Size Paper
Before using non-standard size paper, set its paper size in your print driver.
When loading non-standard-size paper in the paper tray, set its paper size also on the
control panel. For information on how to set a paper size with the control panel, refer to
"Setting the Paper Size" (P. 80).
The following procedure uses Windows XP as an example.
Important
• Make sure to set the paper size correctly on the print driver or on the control panel. Setting the wrong
paper size can cause printer failure.
Note
• On Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, only
users with administrator privileges can change the settings. Users without administrator privileges can
only view the settings.
• Changing the settings in the [Custom Paper Size] dialog box on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, when the printer is a local printer, can affect the
settings for other printers on your computer. Whereas, changing those settings when the printer is a
network printer can affect other network-shared printers on other computers over the network. This is
because the printer uses its own form database when it is local, and uses the form database of a server
that has a print queue when it is networked.
