Printing on Custom Size Paper

Set a custom paper size and paper type on the operator panel. Then, register a paper size with a printer driver.

Paper sizes of from 64 to 216 mm in width and from 90 to 1321 mm in length can be registered.

Note

  • Register paper in portrait, and load paper in a tray in portrait.

  • If the paper length exceeds 432 mm (17 inches), use the rear output tray.

  • This function may not be available for some applications.

  • If the paper length exceeds 432 mm (17 inches), the print quality cannot be guaranteed.

  • If paper is so long that it exceeds the paper supports of the MP tray, support the paper with your hands.

  • It is not recommended to use a paper width of less than 100 mm (3.9 inches), because paper jams may result.

  • About available paper sizes for each tray and for duplex printing
