Setting Paper Types and Sizes
This section includes:
• Setting the Paper Type on page 58
• Setting the Paper Size on page 58
After loading paper in paper Tray 1 or the 250-sheet feeder (Tray 2), set the paper type on the printer
control panel.
Notes:
• If None is selected in the Paper Type menu in the print driver, the printer uses the control panel
settings. The printer prints only when the settings for the paper size and type configured in the
print driver match the control panel settings. If the settings in the print driver and control panel
do not match, follow the instructions displayed on the control panel.
• You can select to display a message prompting you to set the paper size and type on the control
panel each time paper is loaded. For details, see Tray Settings Menu on page 102.
