Print on custom-size media
Custom-size paper can be printed from any of the trays. For media specifications, see Media and
trays .
NOTE Very small or very large custom-size paper should be printed from tray 1. The control
panel can be set for one custom size at a time. Do not load more than one size of custom paper
into the device.
For best printing performance when you print large numbers of small or narrow media and standard
paper, print the standard paper first and then print the small or narrow media.
Guidelines for printing on custom-size paper
● Do not attempt to print from tray 1 on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm
(5 inches) long.
● Do not attempt to print from trays 2 or 3 (or from optional trays 4, 5, or 6) on paper smaller than
148 mm (5.83 inches) wide or 210 mm (8.27 inches) long.
● Set page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 in) away from the edges.
Set custom paper sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected from the software program (the
preferred method), the printer driver, or the 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.)
If the settings are not available from the software, set the custom paper size from the control panel:
1. On the control panel, touch Supplies Status , touch the name of the tray, and then touch Modify .
2. Touch Custom .
3. Set the X Dimension and the Y Dimension . The labels in each tray indicate the X and Y directions.
4. In the software, select Custom as the paper size.
