Configuring Universal paper settings

The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus. Set the Paper Size for the Manual Feeder to Universal when the size you want is not available from the Paper Size menu. Then, specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper:

Note: The smallest supported Universal size is 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.); the largest is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.). Paper that weighs at least 75 g/m2 (20 lb) is recommended for sizes less than or equal to 182 mm (7.17 in.) wide.
