Setting custom size paper

Set the custom paper size using the control panel when loading custom size paper.

Do not configure settings using the control panel if you have already configured settings using the printer driver. However, when printing with a printer driver other than the RPCS printer driver, you must configure the settings using the control panel.

• The following is the range of paper size that can be set as custom size: 182 to 297 mm (7.17 to

11.69 inches) in width and 148 to 432 mm (5.83 to 17.00 inches) in length.

• The printer cannot print to custom size paper from applications that do not support custom size paper.
