be printed from Tray 1 to the rear output bin. Open the rear output

 

bin to use it (page 26).

 

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.

 

When you print large numbers of small or narrow media and

 

 

standard paper, for best printing performance print paper first, then

 

the small or narrow media. To alternate paper and small or narrow

 

media, from the Configuration Menu in the printer’s control panel

 

select SMALL PAPER SPEED=SLOW.
