A custom paper size created in this way has the following characteristics:
● The paper size is permanent. It will not disappear if the driver is closed or the computer is turned o.
● Restricted users cannot create paper forms. The “manage documents” role in the Windows Active Directory
is the minimum required.
● The paper size is local to the computer. It will be seen in all the printer queues that have been created on
the computer and that support paper of that size.
● If a printer queue is shared, this paper size will appear in all the client computers.
● If a printer queue is shared from another computer, this paper size will not appear on the driver´s
document size list. A Windows form in a shared queue needs to be created in the server.
● If the printer queue is deleted, the paper size is not deleted.

However, you can change this behavior in the following ways:
● In the Windows driver dialog: Click the Paper/Quality tab and then the Margins/Layout button.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Click the Margins/Layout panel.
You will then see at least some of the following options.
NOTE: Under Mac OS X, the available margins options depend on the paper size selected.
