Additional guidelines for small or narrow paper
Follow these additional guidelines when printing on small or narrow paper:
● Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm
(5 inches) long.
● To reduce curl and other problems, print very small custom-size paper from tray 1 to the
rear output bin.
● HP does not recommend printing large quantities of small or narrow paper. Printing large
quantities of small or narrow paper can cause excessive wear on the print cartridge
components that might result in toner leaking into the printer or might cause print-quality
problems.
Setting custom paper sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected in the program (the
preferred method), in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. To reduce curl and
other problems, heavy paper and very small custom-size paper should be printed from tray 1
to the rear output bin.
Feed the paper into the printer short-edge first.

If the settings are not available in your program, set the custom paper size at the printer
control panel.
