Using Print Materials

Printing on Card Stock or Custom-
sized Materials

• Postcards, 3.5in. by 5.5in. (index) cards and other custom-

sized materials can be printed with your printer. The 

minimum size is 3.5in. by 5.5in. (90mm by 140mm) and the 
maximum size is 8.5in. by 14in. (216mm by 356mm).

• Always insert the short edge into the Multi-purpose Tray 

first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this 
selection using your software. Inserting the long edge first 
may cause a paper jam.

• Do not load more than 10 cards into the Multi-purpose Tray 

at a time.

• Do not print on material smaller than 90mm (3.5in.) wide or 

140mm (5.5in.) long.

• In the software application, set margins at least 4.3mm 

away from the edges of the material.

To print on card stock:

1

Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.

2

Load print material in the Multi-purpose Tray only, with 
the print side down and the short edge first
. Slide the 
guide until it lightly touches the stack without causing it to 

bend.

3

When you print, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose 

Tray and select the appropriate size and type in the 
software application. For details, see the Software 
section

If the size of your print material is not listed in the Size 
box in the Paper tab, click the 

Custom button and set 

the size manually.

N

OTE

:

 If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn 

the paper around and try again.
