Paper Size Setup of Printer Setting Tool (Windows)

Use the Paper Size Setup in the Printer Setting Tool to add paper sizes not available in the Paper Size list of the printer driver.

Before you print using a paper size other than the available ones, you must register the new paper size by sending it to the printer.

Printing with a paper size not registered with the printer may produce incorrect print results.
