    Hi, can you post a picture for better understanding?
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

      Are you implying that any paper tray on your bizhub C258 can identify non-standard paper sizes, under any circumstances? You can certainly PROGRAM non-standard paper sizes through the panel, but the tray will not be able to automatically identify non-standard paper sizes. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
        The medication helps though...

          This is what I need the machine to do. Photos are from another machine.

            I want to manually program non-standard sizes, but this funtion is unavailable on this machine.

                Sure there are no user authentication setup on the machine with some restrictions?

                Can always try and initialize user settings.
                Whatever

                  User authentication is not turned on in this machine. I did "clear all data" on service mode but did not solve the problem

                    If you activate Engine FW DipSW 19 it's possible to select custom-size paper detection of the tray 1 and tray 2.
                    Beware that in earlier C258's the guides in the paper trays can only be set to fixed posistions.

                      Thank you. I'll try that when I go back on the machine.

                        Finally problem solved.

                        Dipsw 19 was already activated with Hex value value 80. Maybe it depends of other dipsw to allow custom paper size on trays 1 and 2.

                        The way it worked was by copying the dipsw settings of another machine that already had that function enabled.
                        I changed the folowing:

                        Dipsw n. previous Hex value changed to Hex value

                        10 02 04
                        25 40 B0
                        51 F0 00
                        72 04 00
                        125 02 00
                        146 00 30
                        157 20 00
                        175 00 02
                        226 00 90
                        227 80 00
                        230 08 40

                        One of them must have did the trick as now machine allow the use of custom paper size on tray 1and 2.
                        Unfortunally I did not had the time for change back one by one to identify the right one. Too late on the end of the day.

                        One of the changes must be related to the way the computer gets the machine state as now when we press get device information on the computer driver an error message pops saying "printers can not be conected. Check port definitions. The machine prints ok altough, even on custom size paper.

                        Thank you for all the help.

                          Thanks for posting back, and collecting the appropriate data. We can work with that to narrow it down further. =^..^=

                            Engine FW DipSW 19 doesn't have hex values. Those switches are either On or Off.
                            Anyway good job but it's not recommended to change software switch values without need.
                            A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

                              Here's the DIPSW's that I can trace back:

                              10 02 04 ???
