Special printing situations
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
Printing a different first page
Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type than the
rest of the document, for example, to print the first page of a document on letterhead paper and the
rest on plain paper.
1 From your application or printer driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray for the
remaining pages.
For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.
2 Load the special media into the tray that you specified in step 1.
3 Load the media for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.
You can also print on different media by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set the
types of media that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining pages by media
type.
Printing a blank back cover
Use the following procedure to print a blank back cover. You can also select an alternate paper
source or print on a different media type than the rest of the document.
1 On the printer driver’s Paper tab, select Use different paper, then from the drop-down list,
select Back Cover, check Add a blank back cover, and then click OK.
2 For more information, see
Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.
You can also select an alternate paper source or print a blank back cover on a different media type
than the rest of the document. If desired, select a different source and type from the drop-down lists.
Printing on custom-size media
The printer supports single-sided printing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports media sizes from
76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x14 inches). Tray 2 and the optional 500-sheet
trays support media sizes from 148 x 210 mm (5.83 x 8.27 inches) (A5 size) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x
14 inches).
When printing on custom-size media, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as TRAY X
TYPE= ANY TYPE and TRAY X SIZE= ANY SIZE, the printer will print on whatever media is loaded
in the tray. When printing on custom-size media from Tray 2 or any of the optional paper trays, adjust
the switch on the tray to the CUSTOM position, and from the control panel, set the media size to
CUSTOM or ANY CUSTOM.
Some software applications and printer drivers allow you to specify custom paper-size dimensions.
You can configure custom paper sizes from the printer driver’s Paper tab or Forms tab (Windows
2000 and XP). Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the page setup and print dialog boxes.
