Understanding the Automatic Paper Type
Sensor
Your printer has an automatic paper type sensor that detects the following paper types:
Plain paper.
Coated paper.
Glossy/photo paper.
Transparencies.
If you load one of these paper types, the printer detects the paper type and automatically
adjusts the paper type settings.

operating system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
3 From the Paper Setup tab, select the paper size you are using.
4 Click OK.
The automatic paper type sensor is on unless you turn it off. If you want to turn it off:

2 In the Print dialog box, click Preferences or Properties (depending on your operating
system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
