Options
Default SEMIAUTO
OUTPUT SIZING
parameter: points
to note
• A paper size is considered equal in size to another paper size
if neither dimension differs by more than 15/600 of an inch.
• Use this command to print on paper larger than the specified
paper size. Data may be lost if the paper size is smaller than
the image size.
• Note that A4 paper is treated as smaller than 8.5 by 11 inch
paper because it is narrower.
• Regardless of the parameter selected, if an exact match in
paper size is found, the matching tray is used. The
parameters differ only when no match is found.

Option Definition
SEMIAUTO (Standard mode of operation.) Causes the printer to stop printing when
there is a paper size mismatch.
For the printer to resume printing, the operator must do one of the
following:
• Resume printing to print the job on the next larger size paper.
• Change the paper or the effective stock.
• Cancel the job.
If Continue is selected, the system ignores further mismatches of this type
until one of the following occurs:
• The STOCKS parameter changes.
• The end of the report is detected, and no STOCKS parameter is in
effect.
• The end of the print job is reached.
• The printer stops printing.
STOP Causes the printer to cycle down if the exact paper size is not available.
To resume operation, the operator must do one of the following:
• Load the proper size paper and resume printing.
• Cancel the report.
