CASSETTE2 SIZE as follows.
-When the paper is loaded in landscape orientation: CUSTOM SIZE
-W hen the paper is loaded in portrait orientation: CUSTOM SIZER
•When you change the orientation of the loaded custom size paper frequently, it is 
convenient if you set CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE to MIXED SIZES. 
When CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, you do not 
need to specify the setting for CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE each time 
the paper orientation is changed. However, observe the following when specifying 
MIXED SIZES.
-Make sure that the size of the loaded paper matches the paper size specified in the

displaying the message , or a paper jam may occur. Be sure to 
check if the paper size specified in the printer driver matches the size of the paper 
loaded in the cassette before using the printer. However, if SPECIAL MODE J is set to 
ON, the printer prints without checking the paper size even when the paper size 
specified in the printer driver and the size of the paper loaded in the cassette do not 
match. For more details, see SPECIAL MODE J, on p. 5-36.
