If the settings are not available from the software, set the custom

paper size from the control panel:

1 From the Printing Menu set CONFIGURE CUSTOM PAPER=YES.

2 From the Printing Menu, select inches or millimeters as the unit

of measurement.

3 From the Printing Menu, set the X dimension (the front edge of

the paper) as shown in Figure 18. X can be 3 to 12.28 inches (76

to 312 mm) for Tray 1 or 5.8 to 11.7 inches (148 to 297 mm) for

the 500-sheet tray (optional). Set the Y dimension (the side edge

of the paper) as shown in Figure 18. Y can be 5 to 18.5 inches

(127 to 470 mm) for Tray 1 or 8.2 to 17 inches (210 to 432 mm)

for the 500-sheet tray (optional).

4 If custom paper is loaded into Tray 1 and TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE,

then set TRAY 1 SIZE=CUSTOM from the Paper Handling Menu in

the printer’s control panel. See “Customizing Tray 1 Operation” on

page 58.

If custom paper is loaded in the optional 500-sheet tray, be sure

the paper size dial is set to Custom.

5 In the software, select Custom as the paper size.

For example, if the custom paper is 8 by 10 inches (203 by 254 mm),

set X=8 inches and Y=10 inches (X=203 millimeters and Y=254

millimeters).
