Setting custom paper sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected in the program (the preferred
method), in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. To reduce curl and other problems,
heavy paper and very small custom-size paper should be printed from tray 1 to the rear output
bin. (See
“Printing to the rear output bin” on page 37 .)
If the settings are not available in your program, set the custom paper size at the printer control
panel.
To set custom paper sizes
