Solution

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

The procedure for specifying a custom size is as follows:

  1. Creating a new custom paper size

    In the Print dialog window, select Manage Custom Sizes... from Paper Size.
    In the displayed dialog, click +.



     

    Untitled will be added to the list.
     

  2. Setting details about the custom paper size

    Double-click Untitled, enter the name of the paper size you want to register, and specify the Width and Height of the paper for Paper Size.
    Select  your model for Non-Printable Area, and enter the margins.
     

  3. Registering the custom paper size

    Click OK.
    The custom size is registered.

     Note:  

    If the width and/or height you entered are invalid , a message will be displayed indicating the size is not supported .. Valid values will be listed in the body of the message. 


 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.
     
  • To duplicate the registered paper size, select the paper size that you want to duplicate from the list, and click Duplicate.
     
  • To delete a registered paper size, select the paper size that you want to delete from the list, and click -.
