2-2 | Printing on Various Papers
The following table indicates the paper sizes you can print from the four
paper paths:
Using the Standard and Optional Paper Trays
You can use these trays for most sizes of paper up to 13 × 19 inches.
However, the trays can’t handle paper shorter than 11 inches (letter-size).
To determine how many sheets of your paper type you can load in the paper
trays, see page 2-3.
When you load paper in either of the trays, you need to set the paper size
and media type levers to match the paper you’re using, as described on
page 2-4. This allows your software to verify that the print settings for a
project are correct for the paper you’re using. If the print settings don’t
match the lever settings, you’ll get an error message, and your job won’t
print. This can save you both time and money by making sure you don’t
accidently print with the wrong settings.

Note
You can disable
verification by setting the
levers to Other.
However, the purpose of
paper size and media type
verification is to help you
avoid printing errors, and
you should take
advantage of this help
whenever possible.
