To define a custom paper size that does not appear in the list of paper sizes:
● In the Windows and PostScript drivers, use one of two different methods:
● In the driver dialog, select Custom from the Document size drop-down menu on the Paper/
Quality tab. Type a name for the custom size and click Save. Then specify the paper
dimensions and click OK to save your custom paper size.
NOTE: The custom paper size you define is not available for selection in the list of
custom sizes until you have exited and opened the Printing Preferences/Properties again.
Then, you can select More from the Document sizedrop-down menu and find the
custom paper size in the list.
● On the Start menu, select Printers and Faxes, and then from the File menu select Server
Properties. On the Forms tab, click the Create a new form check box, specify the name
and dimensions of the new form, and then click Save Form.
● In Mac OS X V10.4, select Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes in the Page Setup dialog
box.

box.

Adjust margins and layout options
The printer margins determine the area between the edges of your image and the edges of the paper.
For information about the exact sizes (in millimeters) of the available margin settings, see Table 17-4
Margins on page 190 .
Depending on the method that you use to adjust the margins, at least some of the following layout options
are available.
● Standard. Your image is printed on a page of the size that you have selected, with a narrow margin
between the edges of the image and the edges of the paper. The image should be small enough to
fit between the margins.
● Oversize. Your image is printed on a page slightly larger than the size that you have selected. If
you cut off the margins, the remaining page is the size you selected, with no margins between your
image and the edges of the paper.
● Clip Contents By Margins. Use this setting when the contents have white borders and a size
equal to that of the paper that you have selected in the driver. The printer uses the white border for
its margins and you get a page size that is equal to what was selected in the driver.
See the Usage and Preview sections of the Paper/Quality tab for tips about deciding which margins
and layout option best suit your needs.
NOTE: If margins are set in the printer driver or through the Embedded Web Server, they override
the margins that are set on the front panel.
