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.
Notes:
• The smallest supported Universal size is 76.2 x 76.2 mm (3 x 3 inches).
• The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 359.92 mm (8.5 x 14.17 inches).
• When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer prints at a reduced speed to prevent
damage to the fuser.
1 From the home screen, navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Universal Setup > Units of Measure > select a unit of measure
2 Touch Portrait Width or Portrait Height.
3 Select the width or height, and then touch Submit.
Loading the 550‑sheet tray
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all
other trays closed until needed.
1 Pull out the tray.
Notes:
• When loading folio‑, legal‑, or oficio‑size paper, lift the tray slightly and pull it out completely.
• Avoid removing trays while a job prints or while Busy appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
