The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the print job.

Paper sizes:

The Paper sizes: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.

Move the mouse cursor over the dimensions label to change the cursor from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.

Because paper-size settings in most software programs override printer-driver settings, it is generally best to use the printer driver to set paper size only when printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when printing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes.

NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes within a single document.

When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.

Custom Paper Size

The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab.

NOTE: The Custom Paper Size dialog box for the product does not reflect the maximum paper size that the product supports.

Name

Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size.

The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:

If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size.

If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of "Custom."

If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved or the dialog box is closed.

If you type a new name into the Name text box, but do not click Save, you can change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.

Custom paper sizes

Change the width and height values by typing numeric strings into the Width and Height fields in the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
