The paper sizes suitable for use with this printer are as follows:
- Single-sided printing: Width 90-216 mm (3.5 - 8.5 in.); Length 139.7-900.0 mm (5.5 - 35.4 in.)

Feeding custom-size paper sidewise is not possible. Always feed this type of paper lengthwise.
To print on custom-size paper, you must set the paper size as a user defined size first. Follow the procedure below:
