Printing postcards on a Canon MF642C

[aysassi]

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.

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:
