If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If the printer has a shared paper and photo paper tray with adjustable paper width guides, you can select which paper size you want to print. If you print from Apple’s Safari browser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.

AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:

  • Letter

  • Legal

  • A4

  • 4 x 6 in photo paper

  • A6 photo paper
