Configuring Custom Paper Sizes
Custom (nonstandard) paper sizes may be loaded in the
multi bypass feeder, any of the 550 sheet trays or the
envelope feeder. To use custom paper sizes, there are two
basic issues to be addressed:
• You must disable the printer’s automatic paper size
detection and paper size jam detection.
• Although you may physically load a custom paper size
in an input source, because PCL and PostScript format
pages to standard sizes, you must properly set margins
(or use other application formatting methods) to
position the image correctly on the custom paper.
To print on custom size paper, disable the printer’s
automatic paper size detection and paper size jam
detection by setting the Tray Menu’s Tray1Mode,
Tray2Mode, Tray 3 Mode, MBF Size or Envelope Size
item (depending on which input source you are using) to
Custom, then set the Custom Size item to the standard
size to be used by PCL or PostScript to format the page.
Refer to Table 2.3 on page 2-15 for usage examples.
To prevent the printer from incorrectly loading standard paper
from another input source when the Custom Size setting is the
same value as the auto-detected size in that other input source,
you must exclude the tray with the custom size from the Tray
Sequence setting and specifically select that tray as the input
source.
