The printer needs to be made aware of the paper size / type you are using.

 

First,

Load Paper according to the instructions in your printer's user manual

 

Next,

Use the Printer Control Panel to modify / update the paper size / type

OR

If your printer lacks a full service touchscreen Printer Control Panel,

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to configure the Tray / Tray and Paper

 

Next,

Configure the print job.

Configuration / job setup depends on the Operating System / version and the app / software you are using.
