2. Load paper with the side-to-be printed on facing down, and the top, short-edge toward the front of
the tray.
3. In the printer driver or software program, select the size and source of the rotated paper.
Printing full-bleed images
Full-bleed images extend from edge to edge of the page. To achieve this effect, use larger paper, then
trim its edges to the desired size.
CAUTION: Never print directly to the edge of paper. This causes toner to accumulate inside the printer,
which may affect print quality and damage the printer. Print on paper up to 312 x 470 mm
(12.28 x 18.5 in), leaving margins on all four sides of at least 2 mm (0.08 in).
NOTE: When printing paper wider than 297 mm (11.7 in), always use the rear output bin.
Printing on custom-size media
Custom-size paper can be printed from any of the trays. For media specifications, see Paper
specifications on page 160 .
NOTE: Very small or very large custom-size paper should be printed from tray 1 to the rear output bin.
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.
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.
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.
● Set page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 in) away from the edges.
Setting custom paper sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected from the software program (the
preferred method), the printer driver, and the printer control panel.
NOTE: All settings in the printer driver and software program (except configuring custom paper sizes)
override control panel settings. (Software program settings override printer driver settings.)
