Configuring Universal paper settings
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 70 x 127 mm (2.76 x 5 inches) for one‑sided printing and
105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.83 inches) for two‑sided (duplex) printing.
• The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) for one‑sided and two‑sided printing.
• When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer may print at a reduced speed after a
period of time to ensure the best print performance.
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 250‑ or 550‑sheet tray

other trays closed until needed.
1 Pull out the tray.
Notes:
• When loading folio‑, legal‑, or Oficio‑size paper, lift the tray slightly, and then pull it out completely.
