Configuring Universal paper settings

The Universal Paper Size is a user‑defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus.

Notes:

•The smallest supported Universal size is 76.2 x 76.2 mm (3 x 3 inches).

•The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 359.92 mm (8.5 x 14.17 inches).

•When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer prints at a reduced speed to prevent damage to the fuser.
