This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot
be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.
IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine
(MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer
matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this
setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to
print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been
selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default
print settings for the paper size and type. Under most circumstances, it is
preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in
the Reference Guide.)
