Special printing situations
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
Printing a different first page
Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type
than the rest of the document, for example, to print the first page of a document on
letterhead paper and the rest on plain paper.
1. From your application or printer driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray
for the remaining pages.
For more information about how to access the printer drivers, see Accessing the printer
drivers .
2. Load the special media into the tray that you specified in step 1.
3. Load the media for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.
You can also print on different media by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set
the types of media that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining
pages by media type.
Printing a blank back cover
Use the following procedure to print a blank back cover. You can also select an alternate
paper source or print on a different media type than the rest of the document.
1. On the printer driver’s Paper tab, select Use different paper, then from the drop-down
list, select Back Cover, check Add a blank back cover, and then click OK.
2. For more information about how to access the printer drivers, see Accessing the printer
drivers .
You can also select an alternate paper source or print a blank back cover on a different
media type than the rest of the document. If desired, select a different source and type from
the drop-down lists.
Printing on custom-size media
The printer supports single-sided printing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports media
sizes from 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) to 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches). Tray 2 and
optional Tray 3 and Tray 4 support media sizes from 182 by 210 mm (7.16 by 8.27 inches) to
216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches).
When printing on custom-size media, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as
TRAY X TYPE= ANY TYPE and TRAY X SIZE= ANY SIZE, the printer will print on whatever
media is loaded in the tray. When printing on custom-size media from Trays 2, 3, or 4, adjust
the switch on the tray to the custom position, and from the control panel, set the media size
to custom or ANY CUSTOM.
Some software applications and printer drivers allow you to specify custom paper-size
dimensions. You can configure custom paper sizes from the printer driver’s Paper tab or
Forms tab (Windows 2000 and XP). Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the page
setup and print dialog boxes.
