Setting up a custom user defined paper size for Epson | Photoshop | Windows


How to create user-defined paper sizes - Epson | Photoshop | Windows

For Red River Paper greeting cards, scrapbook 12x12 sheets, panorama printing, and other special projects, you need to define a custom paper size in the Epson printer properties. Below are instructions for setting a custom paper size in Photoshop.

In this lesson, you will see two versions of the Epson printer driver. If the first example is unfamiliar, scroll down to the next.

In Photoshop, click PRINT. Choose your printer from the Printer drop-down menu.

Now click the Print Settings button. This will launch your printer's property dialog.

Epson Printer Driver Version #1

On the Main tab of the printer's properties, locate and click the "User Defined..." button.

This brings up the User Defined Paper Size dialog.

1 - Name your new paper size something easy to understand. Enter it in the dialog at the top of the menu.

2 - Enter the paper's width and height.

When defining paper size, width is always the smaller dimension of your paper and the height is always the larger dimension.

Example - on a 7x10 greeting card width is 7 and height is 10 regardless of the print orientation.

3 - Click Save to save the paper size definition. It will appear on the left side in the Paper Size section.

4 - Click OK when complete.

The custom size will now be available for your use in the paper size drop down menu.

From the Document Size drop-down menu, choose USER-DEFINED.
