CUSTOM PAGE SIZE
This feature enables printing on non-standard sized print media. 
The multipurpose tray is used for feeding non-standard media 
sizes. Print media width can be from approximately 76mm to 
328mm, and its length can be from 90mm to 1200mm. Actual 
limits vary slightly depending on which printer driver you use and 
your computer’s operating system.
Some applications software may not produce the desired results 
with non-standard print media sizes, and some experimentation 
may be required to obtain the results you want.
