Originals created in Microsoft Word or other applications in your preferred size can be enlarged to fill the width of roll
paper by completing simple printer driver settings. Fit Roll Paper Width
You can easily create vertical or horizontal banners by automatically enlarging or reducing originals to fit the full width of
rolls. Note
• The maximum supported roll length is 18.0 m or 19.7 yd.

" Printing on Non-Standard Paper Sizes
By specifying the paper size, you can print on non-standard sizes of paper.
There are two ways to print on non-standard paper sizes, as follows. Registering non-standard paper size in the printer driver
After you register non-standard paper sizes, they are listed with standard sizes so that you can choose them anytime as nee-
ded. Note
• These non-standard  paper  sizes  you  register  in  the  printer  driver  are  called  Custom  Paper  Size  in  Windows
and  Custom Sizes  in Mac OS X.Specifying custom paper sizes for temporary use
Because these are sizes you specify temporarily in the printer driver, the sizes will not be available after you exit the appli-
cation. If you want to set up a non-standard paper size so that it will always be available, we recommend registering the
paper size in the printer driver. Note
• These temporary paper sizes you register on the printer are called  Custom Sizes in Windows.
• This can only be configured in Windows.
For instructions on specifying non-standard paper sizes for printing, refer to the following topics, as appropriate for your
computer and operating system.
