printing on A3 paper), refer to Using a Different Print Size on page 51.
Matching the Paper Size before Printing
The printer automatically selects the paper size specified in the Page Size setting on the Media
tab by default when you are printing on regular paper. However, the printer supports a wide
variety of printing media depending on your printer model.
You can specify the media type in the
Media Type setting for automatic paper source selection
when using recycled paper, labels, or transparencies. You can also specify the finishing
settings for best results. Automatic selection of paper sizes can be disabled in the PCL XL
detail settings. For further details, refer to Page Description Language (PDL) Settings on page
36.

NOTE
Labels, transparencies, and envelopes must be printed using the multi-purpose
tray. Ensure the paper is properly loaded by following the instructions outlined in
the supplied printer's Operation Guide.
When paper is loaded properly in the paper cassette, the printer can automatically
detect the paper size. However, it is necessary to use the print operator panel on
the printer to assign the media type of the paper cassette so that the printer can
recognize it. The steps to specify the media settings are listed below.
NOTE
Use the multi-purpose tray in cassette mode (the default). For further details on
multi-purpose tray modes, refer to the printer's Operation Guide.
