Chapter 5: Paper handling
Paper sizes
Your printer supports a wide variety of paper sizes. Some
paper sizes feed from the trays short edge first, and others
feed long edge first. This affects the print speed, as well as
the proper positioning of letterhead or other preprinted
paper in the trays. See the ”Paper size specifications” table
on page 73 for details. Refer to the Setup Guide for illustra-
tions of proper paper orientation in the trays.
The printer determines the size paper loaded in the trays
by the position of the rear paper guide. Since the printer
can only recognize A3 and B4 size paper or 11x17 and legal
size paper, you must decide which paper sizes you want
your trays to support. Then choose the appropriate setting
from the Size Detection menu item. You can still load the
paper sizes you don’t select in the multipurpose feeder.
