Setting Paper Dimensions (Custom Size)

The procedure for specifying a custom size is as follows:

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

    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 execute print, the data is printed with the specified paper size.

Important

  • 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 "Media Types You Can Use."
