Printing Custom Size or Long Paper
This section explains how to print on custom size paper, such as long paper using the PCL 
print driver.
Custom size paper can be loaded in each tray. The way to load custom size paper in the 
paper tray is the same as the one to load standard size paper. The way to load custom size 
paper in Tray 1 (MPT) is the same as the one to load standard size paper.
When 
MPT Mode is set to Panel Specified, you need to set the paper type and size settings 
for the tray on the control panel in advance.

Defining Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.
Note:When setting the paper size on the print driver and control panel, be sure to specify 
the same size as the actual paper used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause printer 
failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width 
paper.
Using the PCL Driver
On the PCL print driver, set the custom size in the Custom Paper Size dialog box. This 
section explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
For Windows 2000 or later, an administrator’s password only allows users with 
administrator rights to change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can 
only check the contents.
When configuring the 
Custom Paper Size dialog box in Windows 2000 or later, settings of 
other printers on the computer will also be affected as the form data base of the computer 
is used by a local printer. For a shared printer on the network, settings of other shared 
printers on the same network in another computer will also be affected as the form data 
base on the server with existing print queue is used.
1. To start, do the following:
•Windows 2000-XP: Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes.
•Windows Vista: Click Start > Printers.
Right-click the printer and select Properties.
2. Select the 
Configuration tab.
3. Click 
Custom Paper Size.
4. Use the 
Details list box to select the custom setup you want to define.
