Using the printer Printing on custom-size media You can print custom-size media from Tray 1. When you want to print on custom-size media, you need to adjust the length and width guides in the tray, and, if necessary, extend the tray size to accommodate larger media. • Use Tray 1 when printing on paper that is 3 to 8.5 inches wide and 5 to 14 inches long (76.2 to 216 mm wide and 127 to 356 mm long). • If your application supports custom-size media, set the media size in the application before creating and printing the document. If your application does not support custom size media, set the size in the printer driver, create the document, and then print it. (You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom paper sizes.) For information about extending the tray size, see Loading media. To load custom-size media 1. Raise the output tray and remove all media from Tray 1. 2. Insert the custom-size media into the tray. 3. Slide the width and length guides until they stop at the edges of the media. The guides should be snug against the media without bending it. CAUTION: Sliding the guides too tightly against the media can cause jams. 4. Lower the output tray.
