Printing custom-sized media or card stock
HP LaserJet 3300 series products can print on custom-sized media or card stock between 76 by
127 mm. (3 by 5 inches) and 216 by 356 mm. (8.5 by 14 inches). Depending on the media, you
can print up to 10 sheets from the priority input tray. Use the main input tray for more than 10
sheets.
Note Make sure that the sheets are not stuck together before you load them.
To print custom-sized media or card stock
1 Open the straight-through output door.
2 Load the media with the narrow side forward and the side to be printed facing up. Adjust the
side and rear media guides to fit the media.
3 Select the correct size in the printer settings. (Software settings can override printer
properties.)
4 If printing on card stock, access the optimizing feature from the Paper tab in your Windows
printer driver. Then select Optimize for: and choose Card stock from the drop-down list.
5 Print the document.
Printing on both sides of the media (manual duplexing)
To print on both sides of the media (manual duplexing), you must run the media through the printer
twice. You can print using the normal output path or the straight-through output path.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the normal output path for lightweight paper and use
the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls when printed.
See the following topics for more information:

Note Manual duplexing is supported only in Windows.
Manual duplexing can cause the product to become dirty, reducing print quality. If the product
becomes dirty, see Cleaning and maintenance
for instructions.
