Getting to Know Your Printer
Custom Sizes
In addition to the standard sizes of paper you can use, you can also print on custom size paper
from any tray. The custom size paper must meet the following guidelines.
• All Custom sizes must be fed short edge first.
• Paper smaller than 3 in by 5 in (76.2 mm by 127.0 mm) or larger than 8.5 in by 14 in
(215.9 mm by 355.6 mm) cannot be printed.
• Paper smaller than 3.5 in by 5.5 in (88.9 mm by 139.7 mm) must be printed from Tray 1
and cannot be duplexed or output to the Offset Catch Tray.
Insert paper in the tray so the side to be printed is facing up and the short edge of the paper goes
into the printer first. On the Operator Panel, use the Paper>Media Size/Type Menu to set
Auto-Sense OFF and then set Custom Size for the intended tray. Then use your application
software printer driver to send data to be printed on the installed custom size paper. See section
“Custom Size Paper” on page 4-14.When using the EWS, turn Auto-Sense OFF and press
Submit to gain access to Custom Size settings.
