Printing

Using Custom Paper Types

Use this feature to create your own custom paper type with specific settings that you can reuse for routine print jobs, for example, monthly reports. Custom paper types are created in the Embedded Web Server and appear in the printer driver, control panel, and EWS. You can define up to 5 custom names and assign base paper types to them. The control panel always lists all five types, but the driver only lists the ones that are not hidden.

Note: Only Windows or Macintosh drivers connected over a network can show the redefined names and hide the types. Other drivers show all five default names.

To modify custom paper types:

1.Launch your Web browser.

2.Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

3.Click Properties.

4.Select the General folder on the left navigation panel.

5.Select Custom Paper Types.

6.Enter or modify the settings, then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Notes:

Uncheck the Hide checkbox in order for the custom paper type to appear in the network connected Windows or Macintosh printer driver.
