Printing cards, custom-size, and heavy paper

Custom-size paper can be printed from any tray. For paper specifications, see “Paper specifications” on page 188.

Tray	Minimum size	Maximum size
Tray 1	76 by 127 mm	216 by 356 mm
	(3 by 5 in)	(8.5 by 14 in)
Tray 2, 3, or 4	148 by 210 mm	216 by 356 mm
	(5.8 by 8.2 in)	(8.5 by 14 in)

	The maximum paper weight is 199 g/m2 (53 lb) from tray 1 and
	105 g/m2 (28 lb) from trays 2, 3, and 4.
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 (see “Printing to the rear output bin”
	on page 45).
	The printer 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.

Guidelines for printing custom-size paper

●Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 in) wide or 127 mm (5 in) long.

●In the software application, set page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 in) away from the edges.

●Feed short-edge first.

Setting custom paper sizes

When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected from the software application (the preferred method), the printer driver, and the printer control panel.
