Page size
The Page size drop-down menu lists all of the standard supported media sizes.
Move the mouse cursor over the dimensions label to change the cursor from an arrow to a gloved hand.
Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
Because media-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to
use the driver to set media size only when printing from software programs that do not include a media-
size setting, such as NotePad, or when producing a book or a booklet that does not require different
media sizes.
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes
within a single document.
When you change the printer driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or select another tray.
