Printing by Type and Size of Paper
Printing by Type and Size of Paper
You can configure the printer to select paper by type (such as plain or
letterhead) and size (such as letter or A4), as opposed to source (a paper
tray).
Benefits of Printing by Type and Size of Paper
If you frequently use several different kinds of paper, once trays are set up
correctly, you do not have to check which paper is loaded in each tray before
you print. This is especially helpful when the printer is shared and more than
one person loads or removes paper.
Printing by type and size of paper is a way to be sure that print jobs always
print on the desired paper. (Some printers have a feature that “locks out” trays
to prevent printing on the wrong paper. Printing by type and size of paper
eliminates the need to lock out trays.)
To print by type and size of paper, do the following:
1 Be sure to adjust and load the trays correctly. (See the sections on loading
paper, starting on page 89
.)
