Welcome to the HP User Community.

The printer supports card media as shown in the Specifications.

The paper size you want to use is not listed in the Standard size list.

If you have the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installed,

You can likely create a Custom Paper Size form to use with this paper size.

Next,

Make sure the printer is alerted to the Paper Size & Type of paper loaded in the printer tray.

Use the Printer Display Panel or use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to adjust the paper / type settings.

For example,

Check / Adjust / Retain the Paper at the Printer Display Panel

Open Printer Tray,

If you have not yet done so, Remove / add desired paper size - type

Wait a few seconds
