Printing on Custom-sized Paper from the
MP Tray
You can print on custom-sized paper from the
MP Tray. The largest size of paper supported
is 11.7x17.7 inches (297x450 mm) of 20 lb.
paper and the smallest size is 3.9x5.8 inches
(100x148 mm). When you select custom-sized
paper, the printer assumes the maximum page
size is 11.7x17.7 inches (297x450 mm).
To print Tabloid Bleeds:
Since the printer has the ability to print on
specially cut paper up to 11.7x17.7 inches, you
can print tabloid size (11x17 in.) bleed images
with crop marks. Refer to your software
application and HP LaserJet Utility Guide
(Macintosh) or Windows on-line help.
To print on Custom-sized Paper:
Some software applications require you to
calculate margins in order to print on
custom-sized paper. The following example is
provided as a guideline. Adapt this example to
your paper size and unit of measurement.
1 In your software application, select MP
Tray for the paper source and “Maximum”
(Windows PCL) or “Oversize” (Macintosh
and Windows PostScript) for the paper
size.
2 Calculate margins to identify the area to
be printed. Illustration 2 and steps 2A
and 2B show how to calculate a margin
for 4x6 inch paper.
A. Take the maximum paper width size
11.7 inches, and subtract 4 inches for the
width of the card. Take the answer, 7.7
inches, and divide it by 2 which equals
3.85 inches.
In your software application, select a left
margin of 3.85 and a right margin of 3.85
inches.
