Custom versus Any Custom When you set the custom/standard switch in a tray to Custom, you can select CUSTOM or ANY CUSTOM as the media's size. If you set the media's size as CUSTOM, you are prompted for the exact height (X dimension) and width (Y dimension) of the media. When you print by size and type and you request custom-size media, the printer prints from that tray only if the printer driver requests that same custom size. If the printer driver requests a custom size other than the size you have set, and no tray is set as ANY CUSTOM, an error message appears. If you set the media's size as ANY CUSTOM, you are not prompted for the media dimensions. When you print by size and type, the printer looks first for a CUSTOM tray that contains the requested custom-size media. If no CUSTOM tray contains the requested custom-size media, the printer prints from the tray set to ANY CUSTOM regardless of the size of the media in that tray. ANY CUSTOM saves time if you use only one custom-size media in the printer, or if you select by tray in the driver. If you use more than one custom-size media in the printer, it is highly recommended that you use the CUSTOM option. 3 Selecting and using media 107

Custom versus Any Custom
When you set the custom/standard switch in a tray to Custom, you can select
CUSTOM
or
ANY CUSTOM
as the media’s size.
If you set the media’s size as
CUSTOM
, you are prompted for the exact height (X dimension)
and width (Y dimension) of the media. When you print by size and type and you request
custom-size media, the printer prints from that tray only if the printer driver requests that
same custom size. If the printer driver requests a custom size other than the size you have
set, and no tray is set as
ANY CUSTOM
, an error message appears.
If you set the media’s size as
ANY CUSTOM
, you are
not
prompted for the media dimensions.
When you print by size and type, the printer looks first for a
CUSTOM
tray that contains the
requested custom-size media. If no
CUSTOM
tray contains the requested custom-size
media, the printer prints from the tray set to
ANY CUSTOM
regardless of the size of the media
in that tray
.
ANY CUSTOM
saves time if you use only one custom-size media in the printer, or if you select
by tray in the driver. If you use more than one custom-size media in the printer, it is highly
recommended that you use the
CUSTOM
option.
