Defining Custom Paper Sizes
This section includes:
• Defining the Custom Paper Size in the Windows PostScript Driver on page 87
• Creating a Custom Paper Size Through the Windows Print Server Properties on page 88
• Creating a Custom Paper Size for the Windows PCL Driver on page 88
• Creating a Custom Paper Size for Macintosh on page 88
Notes:
• The custom size defined must be within the maximum and minimum size range for the
printer paper tray you are using. For details, see the custom size paper ranges given for
each tray in Supported Paper on page 58.
• You can create custom paper sizes for use with both the PostScript and PCL print drivers,
but the method for each is different. For optimum results, follow the instructions
carefully.
• If you get an error message when creating a custom size, you might not have permission
to save custom paper sizes on your computer. See your system administrator for help.
Defining the Custom Paper Size in the Windows PostScript Driver
Note: You can save only one custom paper size at a time as you print. Once saved, the dimensions
are retained until you change them. To create a custom paper size for the PostScript driver and
save it under a unique name for repeat use, see Creating a Custom Paper Size Through the
Windows Print Server Properties on page 88.
To define a custom paper size using the PostScript print driver:
1. Navigate to your printer directory or list, then right-click the WorkCentre 6505 PS driver and
select Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, click the Printing Preferences button.
3. On the Paper/Output tab, from the Paper Size list, select Custom Page Size.
4. In the PostScript Custom Size Settings dialog box, select the units of measurement to use.
5. In the Custom Size Settings section, specify the size for the short edge (width) and the long edge
(length) of the paper, then click OK.
6. In the Printing Preferences dialog box, click OK.
Note: To change the custom size, in the Paper/Output tab, click the Edit button below the Paper
Size field. Make the desired changes, and save your changes in all applicable dialog boxes.
