Printing With Custom Size Specialty Media - Lexmark C912 User Reference Manual

Printing with custom size specialty media

Your printer supports a wide range of paper sizes and types, some of which exceed the dimensions
of your printer's standard trays. As a result, when printing with media of a special size you must first
make the appropriate adjustments to both your printer and your printer's driver.
Step 1: Using the multipurpose feeder
Because some sizes of media do not fit in your printer's normal paper trays, you must use the
multipurpose feeder to load the media into your printer.
For detailed instructions on loading custom size media, see
Step 2: Configuring the operator panel for custom size media
The Universal paper size is the standard setting for custom size media on your printer, using 12x18
in. as the default dimensions. If you have changed the default settings on your printer or you want to
use media of a different size, you must set the Universal paper size to the dimensions that you want
to use and make sure that the appropriate unit of measure is selected.
To set the Universal paper size:
1
Press Return until you see the main menu.
2
Press Menu until you see Paper Menu, and then press Select.
3
Press Menu until you see Universal Setup, and then press Select.
4
Press Menu until you see Portrait Width, and then press Select.
• For the default settings, if the value displayed is 12 in., press Return, or press Menu to
increase or decrease the value to the desired size. Press Select.
5
Press Menu until you see Portrait Height, and then press Select.
• For the default settings, if the value displayed is 18 in., press Return, or press Menu to
increase or decrease the value to the desired size. Press Select.
To set the Unit of Measure:
1
From Universal Setup, press Menu until you see Units of Measure, then press Select.
2
Press Menu until the appropriate unit of measure is displayed. If the unit of measure you want
is already saved with an asterisk beside it, press Return to return to Universal Setup.
Otherwise, press Select to change the unit of measure.
