Paper Settings

By registering the paper size, you can prevent the printer from misprinting by flashing the Alarm lamp before printing starts when the paper size of the loaded paper differs from the print settings.

After loading paper:

The Paper lamp flashes.

Set the paper size according to the loaded paper.

Media type is set depending on the paper size.

Paper size Media type
A4, Letter, Legal Plain paper
KG/4"x6"(10x15) Photo paper

When the paper size setting for printing is different from the paper size setting set to the printer:

Ex:

  • Paper size setting for printing: A4
  • Paper size setting set to the printer: Letter

When you start printing, the Alarm lamp and the Paper lamp for the paper size set when printing will flash.

Select one of the operations below.

Printing by paper size setting for printing
You print on the paper loaded without changing the paper size setting. Press the OK button.
For example, when the paper size setting for printing is A4 and the paper size setting set to Letter on the printer, the printer starts printing with A4 on the paper loaded.
Printing after replacing paper
You print after replacing paper loaded on the rear tray.
For example, when the paper size setting for printing is A4 and the paper size setting set to Letter on the printer, you load A4 sized paper before you start printing.
Set the paper size setting depending on the loaded paper on the rear tray after replacing paper.
Cancel printing
Press the Stop button to cancel printing and change the paper size setting specified for printing. Try printing again.
