Loading Universal Paper Into The Auxiliary Tray - IBM 4332-004 - InfoPrint 40 B/W Laser Printer User Manual

Loading Universal Paper into the Auxiliary Tray

Note
Many applications allow you to specify the input tray you want to use.
This value will override any value set at the printer. If your application
does not let you pick an input tray, use the Paper Menu to select the
tray.
To select the auxiliary tray, set SOURCE to AUXTRAY (see "Selecting the
Default Input Tray" on page 64).
You can use the auxiliary tray to print any paper size that falls within the
following range:
Minimum:
3.92 x 5.75 in
100 x 148 mm
Maximum:
11.6 x 17 in
297.4 x 431.8 mm
To print a custom form size, do the following:
1. Set the AUXSIZE item in the Paper Menu to UNIV.
2. Make sure your print application knows what size paper it is printing to.
The printer does not reflow data to fit the paper you load in the auxiliary
tray.
v For the top and left margins, use whatever value you would normally
use. No special calculations are required.
v To determine the minimum bottom margin, subtract the length of the
universal size paper from 431.8 mm or 17 in. For example, if your
custom form is 300 mm long, subtract the custom form length from
431.8 mm (431.8 mm − 300 mm = 131.8 mm).
Your application would then apply at least a 131.8 mm bottom margin.
v To determine minimum right margin for a universal size paper: subtract
the width of the universal size paper from 297.4 mm or 11.6 in. For
example, if your paper is 210 mm wide, subtract the paper width from
297.4 mm (297.4 mm − 210 mm= 87.4 mm).
Your application would then apply at least a 87 mm right margin.
3. If you are printing from an IPDS application:
a. Use the Custom Forms Menu to define the custom form size. You can
define up to five custom form sizes.
