Printer driver settings:
Paper Size: User Defined Size
Paper Source: MP Tray
Paper Type: Normal, Transparency, Labels, Thick, Extra Thick
Note:
❏ Depending on the quality of the non-standard size paper, the printing environment, or the printing
procedure, the paper might skew. Make a trial print run before you print on a lot of non-standard
size paper.
❏ For Windows, access the printer driver, then select User Defined Size from the Paper Size list on
the Basic Settings tab. In the User Defined Paper Size dialog box, adjust the Paper Width, Paper
Length, and Unit settings to match your custom paper. Then click OK and your custom paper size
will be saved.
❏ The saved paper sizes can only be used with the printer driver you saved them to. Even if multiple
printer names are set for a printer driver, the settings can be available only for the printer name in
which you saved the settings.
❏ When sharing the printer on a network, you cannot create User defined size at the client.
❏ If you cannot use the printer driver as explained above, make this setting at the printer by accessing
the control panel’s Printing Menu and selecting CTM (custom) as the Page Size setting.
