Brother HLL2405W, can't find 5 x 7 paper size option in printer menu.

Hi! I'm trying to print on a 5" x 7" sheet of cardstock on the above printer, and the printer lists various paper sizes, but none of them say 5 x 7. It's currently on US Letter, and even when I change the size to 5 x 7 via the print dialog box on my Mac computer, it still prints as if it's printing on US Letter sized paper.

Would anybody be able to help me with this?

Can someone tell me what kind of binding is used here? I'm new to bookbinding and really like the aesthetics of this. I know there's wire, spiral, comb etc., What would this one be considered?

A lot of you beautiful souls were helping me troubleshoot why I was getting halos of toner around my foil, specks and other things, and I went through every offered solution, with no success. The company who makes my machine even sent me a new one for free! There was one thing I think we all missed though.

The foil.

So it seems that the thinness and fragility of the Minc foil is not how all or even most foils are. I just tried some Crafty Critta foil and this stuff is amazing! (See video). Prior to that I just kept trying to get the same Minc brand gold foil to work, and it never got 100% coverage. I tried Deco foil and that was not as thick as crafty critta but still a success!

So I’m never touching Minc brand foil again, and I just put in a huge order with Crafty Critta. Oh, and now I have two Minc machines…anybody want a Minc? 😂
