Setting custom paper sizes

When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected in the program (the preferred method), in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. To reduce curl and other problems, heavy paper and very small custom-size paper should be printed from tray 1 to the rear output bin. (See “Printing to the rear output bin” on page 37.)
