Printing postcards on a Canon MF642C

I bought blank postcards to pring images on them.But the printer doesn't have an option for a 4x6 paper size option. What can I do to be able to print on a 4x6 postcard?

Greetings,

The printer supports thick postcards, supported media weights 16 ~ 53lbs. in the cassette or manual feeder

For postcards I'd try using the the manual feeder and set a custome size. Then see how it goes.

Support | Color Laser | Color imageCLASS MF642Cdw | Canon USA

Set custom paper size in manual feeder:

Specifying Paper Size and Type in the Multi-Purpose Tray - Canon - imageCLASS MF746Cdw / MF745Cdw / MF743Cdw / MF741Cdw / MF644Cdw / MF642Cdw / MF641Cw - User's Guide (manual.canon)

You can try the main tray, but if the media is thick, it may get curled. You can try it.

Set custom paper size cassette:

Specifying Paper Size and Type in the Paper Drawer - Canon - imageCLASS MF746Cdw / MF745Cdw / MF743Cdw / MF741Cdw / MF644Cdw / MF642Cdw / MF641Cw - User's Guide (manual.canon)
