media, any option that you select from the available Use Different Paper/Covers options must also
use Letter-size media.
Because print-driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is
generally best to use the print driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size
setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different
media sizes.
NOTE Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media
sizes within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product,
a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or select another tray.
For information about media sizes, see Media attributes.
When the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected and different options are configured, the
Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information,
see
Use Different Paper/Covers.

When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains
one of two things, depending on the current paper-size selection on the Paper tab:
●
If the paper-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu contains
the name of that custom size.
●
If the paper-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default
name Untitled (plus a number sign [#] and a numerical value) for a custom media size.
