SEPARATING QUEUED PRINT JOBS
When you share a printer with other users it can be useful to print a 
special page between print jobs to help locate each user’s job in a 
paper stack at the printer. 
The separator page is set from the printer driver’s default properties 
window. Access to this is directly from Windows, not from within 
your application program. See “Changing the driver defaults” on 
page 43.
1.In the driver’s Advanced tab click the [Separator Page…] 
button.
2.Click [Browse...] and navigate to a file containing an image of 
the separator page you wish to use, then click [OK].

CUSTOM PAGE SIZE
This feature enables printing on non-standard sized print media. 
The multipurpose tray is used for feeding non-standard media sizes. 
Print media width can be from approximately 51mm to 328mm, and 
its length can be from 128mm to 1200mm. Actual limits vary slightly 
depending on which printer driver you use and your computer’s 
operating system.
Some software applications may not produce the desired results 
with non-standard print media sizes, and some experimentation 
may be required to obtain the results you want.
Notes
If you are using heavy media, transparencies, envelopes or labels, 
use the face up (straight through) paper feed path. 
For face up printing (straight-through path), make sure the rear exit 
is open and the paper support is extended. 
> Paper is stacked in reverse order.
> Tray capacity is about 100 sheets. (Actual capacity depends on 
paper weight.)
HOW TO CREATE, EDIT, AND DELETE A CUSTOM PAGE SIZE

button.
2.In the Paper Feed Options window, click [Custom Size...].

DUPLEX (DOUBLE-SIDED) PRINTING
If your printer has a duplex unit installed you can print on both sides 
of the paper, to save paper, weight, bulk and cost.
> Only paper can be used for duplex printing, not 
transparencies or other media.
> Use paper stock of 75–120  g/m². If you experience excessive 
curling with 75–90 g/m² paper, use 105 g/m².
> Use standard sized paper stock only, e.g. A4, A3, Letter, etc.
> Load the paper print side up. Ream wrappers are usually 
marked with an arrow, indicating which is the print side.
> Paper can be fed from standard paper trays, including the 
high capacity feeder if you have one, but not from the 
multipurpose tray.
> Do not set the paper weight to Ultra Heavy.
> Do not enable the White Page Skip function.

feature with duplex printing to save even more.
