Guidelines for Printing Custom-Size Paper

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

•Set page margins at least .17 inch (4.23 mm) away from the edges.

 

Setting Custom Paper Sizes

 

When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected

 

from the software application (the preferred method), the printer

 

driver, and from the printer’s control panel.

Note

All settings in the printer driver and software application (except

 

configuring custom paper sizes) override control panel settings.

 

(Software application settings override printer driver settings.) The

 

control panel must be set if the PCL 5e driver is used, or custom

 

paper is loaded long-edge first (X is longer than Y).
