Printing on Custom Size Paper/Long Paper
This section explains how to print on custom size paper such as long paper using the PCL
print driver.
Custom size paper can be loaded in the bypass tray. The paper sizes that can be selected
on this printer are as follows:
Note
• The way to print using the PS print driver, refer to the online help for the PS print driver.
• The way to load custom size paper in the bypass tray is the same as the one to load standard size
paper. For details, refer to "Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray" (P. 41).
• When [Bypass Mode] is set to [Panel Specified], you need to set the paper type and size settings for the
tray on the control panel in advance. For details, refer to "3.3 Setting Paper Types and Sizes" (P. 43).
• To print on paper over 356 mm in length, it has to be fed one sheet at a time and supported by hand.
Also, at least 256 MB of memory are required.
Setting Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.
Important
• When setting the paper size on the print driver and control panel, be sure to specify the same size as the
actual paper used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause the machine failure. This is especially
true if you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
On the PCL print driver, set the custom size in the [Custom Paper Size] dialog box. This
section explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
Note
• For Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003, only users with administrator's
rights can change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can only check the contents.
• When configuring the [Custom Paper Size] dialog box in Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/
Windows Server 2003, settings of other printers on the computer will also be affected as the form data
base of the computer is used by a local printer. For a shared printer on the network, settings of other
shared printers on the same network in another computer will also be affected as the form data base on
the server with existing print queue is used. When setting on Windows 98/Windows Me, settings of other
printers on the computer will not be affected as the settings are for paper sizes defined by each printer
icon. For shared printers on the network, settings of other shared printers on the same network but in
another computer will not be affected as the settings are for paper sizes defined by each printer icon.
