Printing on Custom Size Paper (Custom Page)

You can set your own paper size and use it like the predefined paper sizes. Open the printer driver on your computer and register the paper information (size, etc.) of the custom-size paper loaded. Select the registered paper size when printing.

  • Be sure to set the paper size so that the length is longer than the width.

  • When printing on paper with a paper length that exceeds 356 mm, use the faceup stacker for output.
