Print on special and custom-size paper

If your application supports custom-size paper, set the size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-size paper.

Use only custom-size paper that is supported by the printer. For more information, see Media specifications.

NOTE: With certain types of paper, you can print on both sides of a sheet of paper (called “two-sided printing” or “duplex printing”). For more information, see Print on both sides (duplexing).

Follow the instructions for your operating system.
