Media sizes
Media tray sizes.
The standard paper tray and optional Lower Paper Tray
Assembly tray recognize seven different media sizes: Executive, A4, Letter,
Legal, Tabloid, A3 and Tabloid Maximum (for Tabloid/A3 full-size bleeds).
Printing of custom media sizes is also supported. Refer to ÒMargins and
image areaÓ on page 3-33 for details on the size of the image area.
The following table presents guidelines for selecting media sizes for use with
the printerÕs upper and lower media trays.
* Allows printing of Tabloid/A3 full-size bleeds.
Note
When the media size set in the printer driver does not match the
actual media loaded in the tray, then images larger than the
mediaÕs dimensions may be clipped.
