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.
• If you regularly print large jobs on narrow paper, then you may use the MS710 Series printer models, which
print batches of 10 or more pages of narrow paper at a faster speed. For more information on the MS710 Series
printer models, contact your Lexmark sales representative.
