Printing on Non-Standard Paper Sizes
By specifying the paper size, you can print on non-standard sizes of paper .
There are two ways to print on non-standard paper sizes, as follows.

Registering non-standard paper size in the printer driver

After you register non-standard paper sizes, they are listed with standard sizes so that you can choose
them anytime as needed.
Note
•These non-standard paper sizes you register in the printer driver are called Custom Media Size in
Windows and Mac OS 9. In Mac OS X, they are called “Custom Sizes.”

Specifying custom media sizes for temporary use

Because these are sizes you specify temporarily in the printer driver , the sizes will not be available after you
exit the application. If you want to set up a non-standard paper size so that it will always be available, we
recommend registering the paper size in the printer driver .
Note
•These temporary paper sizes you register on the printer are called “Custom Sizes” in Windows.
