Guidelines for using custom paper
●
Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm
(5 inches) long.
●
In the software program, set the page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 inch) from the
edges.
●
Feed the short edge of the page first.
Setting custom paper sizes
When custom paper is loaded, select the appropriate size settings in the software
program (the preferred method), the printer driver, or the control panel.
Note
Settings in the software program and printer driver override control panel settings.
Software program settings generally override printer driver settings.
If the desired settings are not available in the software, set the custom paper size on the
control panel:
1
From the Paper Handling menu, select
TRAY <N> CUSTOM
.
2
Using the
TRAY <N> CUSTOM
option, select inches or millimeters as the unit of
measurement.
3
Using the
TRAY <N> CUSTOM
option, set the dimension for the top edge of the media.
This dimension can be 76 to 216 mm (3.0 to 8.5 inches).
4
While in the
TRAY <N> CUSTOM
option, set the dimension for the side edge of the
media. This dimension can be 127 to 356 mm (5 to 14 inches). For example, if the
custom paper is 203 by 254 mm (8 by 10 inches), set the front-edge dimension to
203 mm and the side-edge dimension to 254 mm.

If custom media is loaded into Tray 1, set
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
