Special printing situations

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of paper.

Printing a different first page

Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different paper type than the rest of the document. For example, you can print the first page of a document on letterhead paper and the rest on plain paper.

1.From your application or printer driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray for the remaining pages.

2.Load the special paper into the tray that you specified in step 1.

3.Load the paper for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.

4.Print the document.

You can also print on different paper by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set the types of paper that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining pages by paper type.

Printing on custom-size paper

The printer supports single-sided printing and manual duplexing on custom-size paper.

Tray 1 supports paper sizes from 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) to 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches).

When printing on custom-size paper, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as TRAY X TYPE= ANY TYPE and TRAY X SIZE= ANY SIZE, the printer will print on whatever paper is loaded in the tray.

Some software applications and printer drivers allow you to specify custom paper-size dimensions. Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the page setup and print dialog boxes. If your software does not allow this, specify the custom paper-size dimensions in the Paper handling menu of the printer control panel. See Paper handling menu for more information.

If your software application requires you to calculate margins for custom-size paper, see the online Help for that application.

Stopping a print request

You can stop a print request by using the printer control panel or using your software application. For instructions on how to stop a print request from a computer on a network, see the online Help for the specific network software.

Note

It can take some time for all printing to clear after you have canceled a print job.
