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. 102 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW
