Making User Defined Paper Sizes for Mac OS X

Defining a custom paper size

Defining a custom paper size

You can define a custom paper size. You can either create a new paper size, or base your custom paper size on a pre-existing paper size. Refer to the appropriate section below.

Creating a new paper size

If the appropriate paper size is not included on the Paper Size list in the Page Setup dialog box, follow the steps below to define a new paper size.

In the Page Setup dialog box, select Stylus Photo R2400 as the Format for setting. Then, select Custom Paper Size as the Settings setting. The following dialog box appears.

To define a new paper size, click New. The dialog box now allows you to enter a name for the new size.

Type a unique name for the paper size.

Specify the Paper Size and Printer Margins by typing in the appropriate text boxes.

Note:

Although you can define a large range of paper sizes, the size of paper you can feed into the printer is limited by the size of the sheet feeder on your printer. Therefore, if necessary, it is recommended that you reduce or enlarge documents to fit paper within the range of your printer's capabilities.

When printing on custom sized paper, set the top and bottom margins to 0.79 inches, and set the left and right margins to 0.12 inches.

Click Save and then click OK to close the Custom Paper Size dialog box. The paper size name you created is now available on the Paper Size list in the Page Setup dialog box.

To delete a custom paper size, select Custom Paper Size from the Settings pop-up menu, select the paper size from the list, and then click Delete.

Copying a pre-existing paper size to use as a template

Follow the steps below to copy an existing paper size to use as a template.

Select the existing paper size to be copied and click Duplicate.

Specify the Paper Size and Printer Margins by typing in the appropriate text boxes.

Click Save and then click OK to close the Custom Paper Size dialog box. The paper size is now available on the Paper Size list in the Page Setup dialog box.
