Printing Custom-size Paper
Using the multi-purpose tray enables you to print custom-size paper or 'long' paper, longer than legal
portrait (355.6 mm (14 in.)).
The paper sizes suitable for use with this printer are as follows:
■
Single-sided printing: Width 90.0-215.9 mm (3.5 - 8.5 in.); Length 139.7-900.0 mm (5.5 - 35.4 in.)
■
Duplex printing: Width 149-215.9 mm (5.8 - 8.5 in.); Length 210-355.6 mm (8.2 - 14 in.)
