Always insert the short edge first into tray 1. To print in landscape mode, make this selection through your program. Inserting paper long edge first might cause a paper jam.

In your program, set margins at least 6.4 mm (.25 inches) away from the edges of the print media.

Choose the custom media you are using as the Type in the printer driver and set the correct Size.

Lower the rear output door to use the straight-through paper path and reduce curl.

See “Print media specifications” on page 123 for more information.
