Step 1. Click “Start” “Control Panel” “Printer and Fax machine & rdquo;.

Step 2. In the “Files” menu, click “Server Properties”.

Step 3, select “Create a new format” and give a name for your newly defined paper in the “Form Name”, such as “Voucher””. Then, type “26” and “13” in "Width", "height". “Printer area margins  can be customized as needed. Finally, click the “Save Format” button.

In this way, a named & ldquo; document & rdquo; custom paper size arises, which represents a height of 13cm to 26cm width paper size.

Some users want to print papers with a width of 10cm or less, such as a 7cm wide card nameplate. After customizing the paper, they find that there is no paper type in the printer's properties. This is because the minimum paper width allowed by many printers is 10cm, which is less than This wide paper does not support user settings because the printer cannot guarantee smooth paper feed and correct paper feed.
