Configuring Custom Paper SizesChapter 3: Printing v 3-61Configuring Custom Paper SizesCustom (nonstandard) paper sizes may be loaded in themulti bypass feeder or any of the media trays. To usecustom paper sizes, there are two basic issues to beaddressed:• You must disable the printer’s automatic paper sizedetection and paper size jam detection.• Although you may physically load a custom paper sizein an input source, because PCL and PostScript formatpages to standard sizes, you must properly set margins(or use other application formatting methods) toposition the image correctly on the custom paper.To print on custom size paper, disable the printer’sautomatic paper size detection and paper size jamdetection by setting the Tray Menu’s Tray 1 Mode,Tray 2 Mode, Tray 3 Mode or MBF Size item (dependingon which input source you are using) to Custom, then setthe Custom Size item to the standard size to be used byPCL or PostScript to format the page.Refer to Table 3.6 on page 3-62 for usage examples.To prevent the printer from incorrectly loading standard paperfrom another input source when the Custom Size setting is thesame value as the auto-detected size in that other input source,you must exclude the tray with the custom size from the TraySequence setting and specifically select that tray as the inputsource.
