How to print on different paper sizes

Most of the time, when you print on plain paper, cards, labels,
and envelopes, you select one of the standard sizes in the

Paper Size

box on the

Setup

tab of the HP print settings box.

However, you’re not limited to the sizes listed. Just make sure
that the size of the paper falls within the following dimensions
(so both of the printer rollers can pick up the paper):

Width:

3 to 8.5 inches (77 to 215 mm)

Length:

5 to 14 inches (127 to 356 mm)

Then follow these steps:

1

In the HP print settings box, click the

Setup

tab, and then

select

User Defined Paper Size

in the

Paper Size

list. (See

“Finding the HP print settings box” on page 30.)

2

Type the dimensions of the paper in the

User Defined Paper

Size

dialog box, and click

OK

.

3

Load the paper in the printer, and print as you would for
normal paper sizes.

4

For small paper sizes, be sure to push the small slider snugly
against the paper as described in “Printing Cards” on
page 42.

Remember to reset the software for the paper in the IN tray after
printing completes.

Click User Defined
