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 70 x 127 mm (2.76 x 5 inches) for one‑sided printing and 105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.83 inches) for two‑sided (duplex) printing.

•The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) for one‑sided and two‑sided printing.

•When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer may print at a reduced speed after a period of time to ensure the best print performance.

•If you regularly print large jobs on narrow paper, then you may use the MS710 Series printer models, which print batches of 10 or more pages of narrow paper at a faster speed. For more information on the MS710 Series printer models, contact your Lexmark sales representative.
