Setting Print Options With SelecType
You can use two of the SelecType menus, Printing and Tray Size, to set
default print options. Normally you set these options through the printer
properties, print, or page setup dialog box in your software. However, you
can also use the One-Touch mode, described on page 3-2, and the
SelectType menus, as described below.
Follow these steps to set print options through SelecType:
1. Press the menu button until the display shows
Printing Menu
or
Tray
Size Menu.
2. Press the
Item
button. The display shows
Paper Source = Auto
(Printing Menu)
or
MP Tray Size = MP
(Tray Size Menu).
3. Press the
Value
button to change the setting, or press the
Item
button
to access the next setting. See the tables below for information about the
settings and options.
With the Tray Size menu, you can change the size for the multipurpose
tray, but not for the cassette(s). The tray size setting for the cassettes is
always based on the position of the edge guides in the cassettes
themselves. You can use the menu only to check the setting.
