If the settings are not available from the software, set the custom
paper size from the control panel:
1 From the Printing Menu set
CONFIGURE CUSTOM PAPER=YES
.
2 From the Printing Menu, select inches or millimeters as the unit
of measurement.
3 From the Printing Menu, set the X dimension (the front edge of
the paper) as shown in Figure 18. X can be 3 to 12.28 inches (76
to 312 mm) for Tray 1 or 5.8 to 11.7 inches (148 to 297 mm) for
the 500-sheet tray (optional). Set the Y dimension (the side edge
of the paper) as shown in Figure 18. Y can be 5 to 18.5 inches
(127 to 470 mm) for Tray 1 or 8.2 to 17 inches (210 to 432 mm)
for the 500-sheet tray (optional).
4 If custom paper is loaded into Tray 1 and
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
,
then set
TRAY 1 SIZE=CUSTOM
from the Paper Handling Menu in
the printer’s control panel. See “Customizing Tray 1 Operation” on
page 58.
If custom paper is loaded in the optional 500-sheet tray, be sure
the paper size dial is set to Custom.
5 In the software, select Custom as the paper size.
For example, if the custom paper is 8 by 10 inches (203 by 254 mm),
set X=8 inches and Y=10 inches (X=203 millimeters and Y=254
millimeters).
The control panel must be set if the PCL 5e driver is used, or custom
paper is loaded long-edge first (X is longer than Y).
