Note:
When setting the paper size on the print driver and the operator panel, be sure to specify the same size as
the actual print media used. Setting the wrong size for printing can cause printer failure. This is especially
true if you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
Using the Windows Print Driver
On the Windows print driver, set the custom size in the Custom Paper Size dialog box. This section
explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
For Windows XP or later, an administrator's password only allows users with administrator rights to
change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can only view the contents.
