Custom-sized print media or cardstock
● Postcards, 3 x 5-inch (index) cards, and other custom-sized print media can be printed on from
Tray 1, Tray 2, or optional Tray 3. The minimum size is 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) and the
maximum size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). See
Print-media specifications for more
information.
● Always insert the short edge first into Tray 1, Tray 2, or optional Tray 3. To print in landscape
mode, make this selection through your program. Inserting the media long-edge-first might
cause a jam.
●
In your program, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inch) away from the edges of the print media.
