The WorkCentre 3045 Multifunction Printer prints on custom paper sizes that are within the
minimum and maximum size range supported by the printer.
Defining Custom Paper Sizes
To print custom paper sizes, define the custom width and length of the paper in the print driver software
and on the printer control panel. When setting the paper size, ensure that you specify the same size as
the paper in the tray. Setting the wrong size can cause a printer error. Print driver settings override
control panel settings when you print using the print driver software on your computer.
Defining a Custom Paper Size for Windows
You can save up to 20 custom paper sizes in the Windows print driver. Save each custom size with a
unique name and the dimensions are retained until you change them.
