To print a custom form, do the following:
1. Set the AUXSIZE item in the Paper Menu to UNIV for paper or UNI-ENV for
envelopes.
2. Make sure your print application sets the proper margins. The printer does not
reflow data to fit the paper or envelope you load in the auxiliary tray.
v
To determine minimum right and left margins for custom forms subtract the
width of the custom form from 330 mm or 13 in, and divide by two. For
example, if your custom form is 230 mm wide, calculate the side margins as
follows:
a. Subtract the custom form width from 330 mm (330 mm - 230 mm = 100
mm)
b. Divide the result by 2 (100 mm / 2 = 50 mm)
Your application would then apply at least a 50 mm right and left margin.
Note that the minimum margin prints to the edge of the paper. If, for example,
you want to leave a margin of 10 mm on each side, add the 10 mm to the
minimum.
v
To determine the minimum bottom margin, subtract the length of the custom
form from 508 mm or 20 in. For example, if your custom form is 300 mm
long, subtract the custom form length from 508 mm (508 mm - 300 mm = 208
mm).
Your application would then apply at least a 208 mm bottom margin. Again,
note that the minimum margin prints to the edge of the paper. If you want to
leave additional space at the bottom of the page, add it to the minimum.
v
For the top margin, use whatever value you would normally use. No special
calculations are required.
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.
b. Use the IPDS Menu to set the Custom Form item to the custom form you
want to use.
See “Defining Custom Form Sizes for IPDS” on page 50 for more information.
4. Load paper top-edge first and print side up.
5. Load envelopes with the flap-side down.
6. Always run some test prints before submitting a large job.
Loading Envelopes into the Envelope Tray
Notes
1. The printer refers to the envelope tray as Tray 1, Tray 2, or Tray 3,
depending on which paper tray the envelope tray replaces.
2. 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 envelope tray, set SOURCE to TRAY1, TRAY2, or TRAY3
(see “Selecting The Default Input Tray” on page 48).
