60 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks

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

which “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:

Be sure to adjust and load the trays correctly. (See the sections

on loading paper, starting on page 30.)

From the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel,

select the paper

type

for each tray. If you are unsure what type

you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on

the package of paper. For supported types, see page A-13.

Select the paper

size

settings from the control panel.

•

Tray 1

: If the printer has been set to

TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE

from the Paper Handling Menu, also set the paper size from the

Paper Handling Menu. If custom paper is loaded, set the size

of custom paper from the Printing Menu to match the paper

loaded in Tray 1. To print custom-size paper, see page 53.

•

Optional 500-sheet tray

: Paper size settings are adjusted

when paper is properly loaded into the printer and the paper

size dial is set to match the paper size. If custom paper is

loaded, set the size of custom paper from the Printing Menu to

match the paper loaded in the tray. Set the paper size dial in

the tray to Custom. To print custom-size paper, see page 53.

•

Other trays

: Paper size settings are adjusted when paper is

properly loaded into the printer and the paper size dials are set

to match the paper size (See the sections on loading paper,

starting on page 31.)

From the software or printer driver, select the desired type and

size of paper.
