Hello, 

 

I am having issues with E1 error. I have set my printer to custom size and it takes the paper makes a printing noise and then this error comes up. 

 

I am trying to print invitations 14.5cm x 29.5cm.

 

Any ideas why this happens?

 

Thanks in advance:)

If not done,

Check whether you can set the paper size / type on the printer in EWS - Tray and Paper

 

I'm not sure whether or how the printer itself will respond to a custom paper size.

"Custom" might -- or might not -- be one of the size selections.

 

If you can set the size -- or get close, perhaps the settings in your job configuration setup will allow the Custom Paper Size to be used.
