Setting Paper Dimensions (Custom Size)

You can specify the height and width of paper when its size cannot be selected from the Page Size. Such a paper size is called "custom size."

You can also set a custom size in Printer Paper Size on the Quick Setup tab.

  1. Open the printer driver setup window

  2. Select the paper size

    Select Custom... for Page Size on the Page Setup tab.

  3. Set the custom paper size

    Specify Units, and enter the Width and Height of the paper to be used. Then click OK.

  4. Complete the setup

    Click OK on the Page Setup tab.
    When you perform print, the data is printed with the specified paper size.

Note

  • If the application software that created the document has a function for specifying height and width values, use the application software to set the values. If the application software does not have such a function or if the document does not print correctly, perform the above procedure from the printer driver to set the values.
  • Printing may be disabled depending on the size of the specified user-defined media.
    For information about printable sizes for user-defined media, see "Supported Media Types."
  • If the paper size in the printer driver does not match the one configured on the printer, an error may occur. For instructions on what to do if an error occurs, see "Paper Settings."
  • To check the current printer settings or to apply the printer settings to the printer driver, click Printer Media Information... from the Quick Setup tab, and specify the settings in the dialog box that appears.
