Learning about your printer 5
Understanding the paper type sensor
Your printer has a paper type sensor that detects these 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 and print resolution.
NOTE: Your printer cannot detect the paper size.
To choose the paper size:
1 With your document open, click File →Print.
2 In the Print dialog box, click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup (depending
on your program or operating system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
3 Click the Paper Setup tab, and then select the paper size you are using.
4 Click OK.
The paper type sensor is on unless you turn it off. If you want to turn it off:
1 With your document open, click File →Print.
2 In the Print dialog box, click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup (depending
on your operating system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
3 From the Paper Type section on the Quality/Copies tab, select Use my choice.
4 Click OK.
NOTE: To temporarily override the paper type sensor for a particular print job, specify a
paper type in the GUI (graphical user interface) under Specialty paper.
