P1600 Series Printers - Software Technical Reference

NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes

within a single document.

For information about paper sizes, see Engineering Details on page 247.

NOTE: Several paper sizes are listed in the paper size drop-down menu that are physically too large

for the product, such as 16k. These sizes are included for scaling purposes– the product scales down

the printed output from a larger original size used by a software program.

Custom Paper Size

The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The

following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.

Name

Use the Name text box to type a name for a new custom paper size or to rename an existing paper size.

The text that appears in the Name text box is one of the following::

●

The name of the any custom paper size that is selected on the Paper/Quality tab.

●

"Custom" if a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab.

●

Any text that has been typed into the Name text box. This text remains in the text box until the new

size is saved or the dialog box is closed.

If you type a new name into the Name text box but then do not click Save, you can change the

Width: and Length: values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking

Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
