Tips
- The area, excluding 3/16 inches (4.2 mm) from the paper edge, is used as the printable area on all paper
sizes. When configuring a user setting of the page size using the application, specify the paper size
within the printable area so that the optimal result is obtained.
- On an envelope, it is only possible to print on the front (address) side. Also, the result of printing on the
seal overlapping part on the front side cannot be assured. The area that cannot be assured varies de-
pending on envelope types.
- The page margin setting is determined depending on your application. If the default paper size or mar-
gin is selected, there may be some part of the paper that is not able to be printed on. To obtain the
optimal result, configure the custom size setting so that an image is included in the printable area of
this machine.
- Specify the custom size in the range of the numeric values shown in the table above using the printer
driver.
- When custom-size paper over width 8-1/4 inches (210 mm) and length 11 inches (279 mm) is used in
Tray 1, its trailing edge is loaded in the bent state due to the tray structure (Maximum length 11-11/16
inches (297 mm)). To load such custom-size paper, use the Manual Feed Tray or load up to 100 sheets
in Tray 1.
- In Mac OS X environment, the maximum size of the Manual Feed Tray that can be used for 2-sided
printing is "width 8-1/2 inches (216 mm) e length 14 inches (355 mm)".
