Print on special and custom-size paper

If your application supports custom-size paper, set the size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-size paper.

Use only custom-size paper that is supported by the printer. For more information, see Media specifications.

NOTE: Defining custom-size media sizes is only available in the HP printing software in Mac OS X.
