Configuring tray 1 for custom paper

Configuring tray 1 for custom paper


Use the ANY SIZE size setting when the selected media does not exactly match the size of the paper specified in the document you are printing. If no source tray is specified, the printer looks first for paper that exactly matches the document, and then it looks for and prints from a tray set to ANY SIZE or ANY TYPE.

Use the ANY CUSTOM setting when you want to be able to print a number of custom sizes from the tray without defining a set size for each job. Use the CUSTOM setting when you want to print a specific print size from a particular tray. When you print a custom job, the printer looks for an exact size match. If it does not find an exact match to the custom size specified, it looks for a tray set to ANY CUSTOM. Finally, the printer looks for and uses media from a tray set to ANY SIZE.

There are three steps to set up custom paper. When all are completed, the display returns to the PAPER HANDLING menu. After a custom size is set for a tray, the printer retains the setting until you change it in the control panel.
