Printing Cards, Custom-Size, and

 

Heavy Paper

 

 

Custom-size paper can be printed from Tray 1 or the optional

 

500-sheet tray. For paper specifications, see page A-2.

 

 

Note

Choose A5 and B5 (ISO) as custom sizes in the printer driver for

 

Tray 2 and Tray 3 (HP LaserJet 4050 T/4050 TN printers) and the

 

optional 500-sheet tray. Settings for these sizes are marked in the

 

tray, but custom settings must be selected in the software and from

 

the printer’s control panel.

Note

To prevent curl and other problems, heavy paper and very small

 

custom-size paper should be printed from Tray 1 to the rear output

 

bin. Open the rear output bin to use it (page 33).

The printer’s control panel can be set for one custom size at a time. Do not load more than one size of custom paper into the printer.

For paper sizes less than 5 inches (127 mm) feed page in a portrait orientation (short edge first).
