You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled-fiber-content paper),
envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size media. The following are the supported media sizes:
●
Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer
performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media that is
designed for laser printers.
NOTE
