Defining Custom Paper Sizes

used. Setting the wrong size for printing can cause printer failure. This is especially true if you configure a
bigger size when using a narrow width paper.

On the Windows print driver, set the custom size in the Custom Paper Size dialo g box . This  section
explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
For Windows XP or later, an administrator’s password only allows users with administrator rights to
change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can only view the contents.
