Printing on custom-sized print media or cardstock
Postcards, 3-by-5-inch (index) cards, and other custom-sized print media can be printed on
from tray 1. The minimum size is 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) and the maximum size is
216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches).

selection through your program. Inserting the media long-edge-first might cause a jam.

print media.
