Using Custom Paper Sizes
In some cases, it is possible to print using custom
(non-standard) paper sizes. The following factors must be
considered:
• This capability is accessible only from the Multi Bypass
Feeder or Envelope Feeder. Non-standard paper sizes
cannot be used in regular paper trays.
• You must disable the printer's automatic paper size jam
detection to prevent false messages from being
reported. See below.
• Although you can physically load custom paper sizes
into the Multi Bypass Feeder, and this paper will be fed
into the printer, you may need to perform some page
format steps within your application to ensure that the
image is properly positioned on the paper. (An
example of this is resetting page margin widths.) This
is because PCL and PostScript format their output
images only to defined paper sizes.
To print using custom paper sizes, first disable the
printer's automatic paper size jam detection by setting the
MBF Size to Custom in the Tray Menu. Then set the
Custom Size item to the standard size to be used by PCL
or PostScript to format the output image on the page. (In
most cases, this will be the next larger standard paper size
from the custom size being used.)
