Guidelines for using custom paper

●Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.

●In the software program, set the page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 inch) from the edges.

●Feed the short edge of the page first.

Setting custom paper sizes

When custom paper is loaded, select the appropriate size settings in the software program (the preferred method), the printer driver, or the control panel.

Note

 

Settings in the software program and printer driver override control panel settings.

 

 

Software program settings generally override printer driver settings.

 

 

 

 

If the desired settings are not available in the software, set the custom paper size on the

 

control panel:

 

1

From the Paper Handling menu, select TRAY <N> CUSTOM.

 

2

Using the TRAY <N> CUSTOM option, select inches or millimeters as the unit of

 

 

 

measurement.

 

3

Using the TRAY <N> CUSTOM option, set the dimension for the top edge of the media.

 

 

 

This dimension can be 76 to 216 mm (3.0 to 8.5 inches).

 

4

While in the TRAY <N> CUSTOM option, set the dimension for the side edge of the

 

 

 

media. This dimension can be 127 to 356 mm (5 to 14 inches). For example, if the

 

 

 

custom paper is 203 by 254 mm (8 by 10 inches), set the front-edge dimension to

 

 

 

203 mm and the side-edge dimension to 254 mm.

 

5

If custom media is loaded into Tray 1, set TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE and then set TRAY

 

 

 

1 SIZE=CUSTOM from the Paper Handling menu in the control panel. See

“Customizing Tray 1 operation” on page 63. If custom media is loaded in Tray 2, 3, or 4, be sure that the paper size slider is set to Custom (see “Loading Tray 2 and optional Trays 3 and 4” on page 24). For more information see “Customizing trays for printing or copying” on page 63.
