Using Custom Paper Types
Use this feature to create your own custom paper type with specific settings that you can reuse
for routine print jobs, for example, monthly reports. Custom paper types are created in the
Embedded Web Server and appear in the printer driver, control panel, and EWS. You can define
up to 5 custom names and assign base paper types to them. The control panel always lists all
five types, but the driver only lists the ones that are not hidden.
Note: Only Windows or Macintosh drivers connected over a network can show the redefined
names and hide the types. Other drivers show all five default names.
To modify custom paper types:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3. Click Properties.
4. Select the General folder on the left navigation panel.
5. Select Custom Paper Types.
6. Enter or modify the settings, then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Notes:
• Uncheck the Hide checkbox in order for the custom paper type to appear in the network
connected Windows or Macintosh printer driver.
• For more information about creating custom paper types, click the Help button on the
Properties tab to view the online help.
