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 cant 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 youre 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 youre using. If the print settings dont
match the lever settings, youll get an error message, and your job wont
print. This can save you both time and money by making sure you dont
accidently print with the wrong settings.

verification is to help you
avoid printing errors, and
you should take
advantage of this help
whenever possible.
