Guidelines for Printing Custom-Size Paper
Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 3 inches (76 mm)
wide or 5 inches (127 mm) long.
Set page margins at least .17 inch (4.23 mm) away from the
edges.
Setting Custom Paper Sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected
from the software application (the preferred method), the printer
driver, and from the printers control panel.
Note All settings in the printer driver and software application (except
configuring custom paper sizes) override control panel settings.
(Software application settings override printer driver settings.) 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).
