Print on special and custom-size paper
If your application supports custom-size paper, set the size in the application before
printing the document. If not, set the size in the printer driver. You might need to
reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-size paper.
Use only custom-size paper that is supported by the printer. For more information, see
Media specifications.
NOTE: With certain types of paper, you can print on both sides of a sheet of
paper (called “two-sided printing” or “duplex printing”). For more information, see
Print on both sides (duplexing).
Follow the instructions for your operating system.
