When none of the standard media sizes in a device PPD file fit a job's needs, you can use a custom size, if supported by the PPD.
Note: In PPD files, the media size is referred to as the device PageSize.
- In the Media list, right-click the media resource, and select Edit.
- In the Media Configuration dialog box, click Custom Size.
This button is available only if the device PPD supports custom media sizes. - Choose a task:
- To add a new media size, click Add, give the new size a name, and specify its dimensions and orientation.
- To change an existing custom media size, select the size name, click Edit, and edit the dimensions, name, and orientation, as needed.
- To delete an existing custom media size, select the size name, and click Delete. You cannot delete a standard size.
Note: Standard sizes that are defined in the PPD files cannot be edited or deleted. - Click OK as needed to apply your changes and return to the Media Configuration dialog box.
The Size list contains your changes. - Choose one of the following steps:
- Select the new size for this media resource, and close the dialog box.
- Do not select the new size. Close the dialog box, right-click the same item in the Media list, and select Add. You can then create a new media resource with a new nickname for your new custom size.
You can now use the custom media for a press run. The grip edge appears at the bottom of the workspace, according to the orientation that you specified.
