You can print on custom-size paper from Tray 1. The largest size of paper supported is 11.7 x 17.7 in (297 x 450 mm). The smallest size is 3.9 x 7.5 in (99 x 191 mm). When you select maximum size of paper, the printer assumes the maximum page size is 11.7 x 17.7 in (297 x 450 mm).

Printing on the

Smallest-Sized Paper

Some applications require you to calculate margins in order to print on custom-size paper. The following example is provided as a guideline. Adapt this example to your paper size and unit of measurement.

1In your software application, select Tray 1 for the paper source and Maximum (Windows PCL) or Oversize (Macintosh and Windows PostScript) for the paper size.

2Calculate margins to identify the area to be printed. Illustration 2 and steps 2a and 2b show how to calculate a margin for 3.9 x 7.5-in (99 x 191 mm) paper.

a.Take the maximum paper width size 11.7 in (297 mm) and subtract

3.9 in (99 mm) for the width of the paper. Take the answer, 7.8 in (198 mm), and divide it by 2, which equals 3.9 in (99 mm).

In your software application, select a left margin of 3.9 in (99 mm) and a right margin of 3.9 in (99 mm).

b.If your software allows, also set the bottom margin. Take the maximum paper length size, 17.7 in (450 mm), and subtract 7.5 in (191 mm), the length of the paper. The bottom margin equals 10.2 in (259 mm).
