Decal sheets too small for printer?

[skrunk]

I'm trying some print some laser decal sheets I got from smallbear, but the printer keeps giving me a "no paper in tray" message.
I think it's because the sheet is too small and it's length is a few mm short of the paper tray 'guide' at its smallest setting.
the printer is a Samsung CLP-320.

anyone else had this problem or could maybe suggest a workaround?

Put regular paper in the tray mark a corner so you ll know the orientation print image on that paper.  Now cut a square of your decal sheet to fit over your image.  Use clear tape to tape it down flat over top the already printed image.  Load the full sheet in the printer with your orientation mark facing the same direction, reprint, remove your decal paper.

Could you tape the decal sheet to a corrrectly-sized sheet of paper and feed that through?  Sorry if that's too obvious.

Oh, use hi temp tape or it will melt and clag up your printer.

EDIT
Ooops. Same answer as the post above.

cheers fellas,
yeah, taping a decal sheet over a regular A4 sheet was the only thing I could think of,
but I was worried it might be too stiff or could jam in the printer.
has anyone tried this, before I take the plunge?

Your printer is able to handle card stock, so a piece of paper, a piece of decal, and a piece of tape shouldn't be a problem.

Stick the paper in, print your design, tape your decal paper over the design with tape on the top edge only, and reprint.

Should work fine.

I´ll add that, when printing the paper with the decal paper taped, change the paper type from normal to something like thick paper, or 100-180 Gr. paper, or something like that. Otherwise it might "run" the print a bit.

FYI - You can use masking tape/painters tape rather than the high temp stuff... It works fine and won't melt and stick to the fuser assembly.
