NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes
within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.
For information about paper sizes, see Media attributes on page 336.
When the Settings under the Special Pages section have been changed, the Paper sizes, Paper
source, and Paper type menus change also, offering a variety of options. For more information, see
Special pages on page 169 .
Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The
Custom Paper Size dialog box contains the following options.
Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size.
The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:
●
If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality
tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size.
●
If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box
shows the default name of "Custom."
●
If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or
renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved
or the dialog box is closed.
If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click Save, you can change the width
and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking Save,
any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
Paper size
The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the Paper
Size group box.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the
maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height
control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry.
If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest
whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole
millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries are validated
when the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is 1 millimeter or 1/10 of an inch, depending on the current measurement
units.
Units
To change measurement units, click one of the options in the Units group box (either Inches or
Millimeters).
