Trays 2, 3, and 4 use “Custom” size specifically for B5 ISO. Trays 2, 3, and 4 do not
support the range of custom sizes available in Tray 1.
Supported paper weights and sizes (HP Color LaserJet 5550
models)
Letter and A4 sizes can be loaded with the long-edge or short-edge leading into the printer.
Long-edge first is the preferred orientation. Long-edge feed gives greater throughput, and
lower consumable usage. Short-edge feed is called the rotated orientation, and is identified
in the trays as LTR-R and A4-R. Short-edge feed can be useful when printing on media with
special features, such as perforations or windows.
