Precautions When Printing onto Custom Size Paper
NOTE
- Registered custom paper sizes can be used with all printers installed on the computer you are using.
- The range of possible custom paper sizes is printer-dependent. See [ Paper Handling ] for more details.
- If you specify a custom paper size in an application, [Custom [Name Fixed]] is used temporarily as the custom paper size you specified in the application.
- [Page Size], [Orientation], and other settings specified in the [Page Setup] sheet may not be valid when printing from certain applications. If these settings are not available, click the [File] menu, then click [Print Setup], [Page Setup], or a similar command in the application you are using to configure these settings.
- The scaling setting, printing multiple pages on one page, or 2-sided printing functions may be unavailable, depending on the printer, when printing on custom paper.
- You can register the paper size specified in the [Server Properties] dialog box accessed from the [Printers] or [Printers and Faxes] as a custom-size paper. In this case, enter a value of 0.20" - 2" (5 mm - 50 mm) for the left, right, top and bottom margin in [Printer Area Margins].
- The available ranges of custom paper sizes are as follows.
