Configuring Universal paper settings
The Universal paper size is a user‑defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer
menus.
Notes:
• The smallest supported Universal size is 70 x 127 mm (2.76 x 5 inches) for one‑sided printing and
105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.83 inches) for two‑sided (duplex) printing.
• The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) for one‑sided and two‑sided printing.
• When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer may print at a reduced speed after a
period of time to ensure the best print performance.
From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Settings > > Paper Menu > > Universal Setup > > Units of Measure > > select unit of
measure >
