up might cause smearing.
Printing on custom-size media
You can print custom-size media from Tray 1. When you want to print on custom-size media,
you need to adjust the length and width guides in the tray, and, if necessary, extend the tray
size to accommodate larger media.
z
Use Tray 1 when printing on paper that is 3 to 8.5 inches wide and 5 to 14 inches long
(76.2 to 216 mm wide and 127 to 356 mm long).
z
If your application supports custom-size media, set the media size in the application
before creating and printing the document. If your application does not support custom
size media, set the size in the printer driver, create the document, and then print it. (You
might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom paper sizes.)
For information about extending the tray size, see
To load custom-size media

should be snug against the media without bending it.
CAUTION
Sliding the guides too tightly against the media can cause jams.
