with a printer driver other than the RPCS printer driver, you must configure
the settings using control panel.
❒Th e following is  the range of paper sizes that can  be loaded in each  typ e of th e
paper trays:
 Tray 1: 100 - 216 mm (3.94 - 8.5 in.) in width and 148 - 355.6 mm (5.83 - 14
in.) in length.
 Optional paper feed unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): 100 - 216 mm (3.94 - 8.5 in.) in
width and 210 - 355.6 mm (8.27 - 14 in.) in length.
