Register Paper Information
By registering the paper size and the media type loaded in the top feed or the manual feed tray, you can prevent the printer from misprinting by displaying the message before printing starts when the paper size or the media type of the loaded paper differs from the paper settings.
Note

The default setting for displaying the message which prevents misprinting varies depending on the printing method.
When you load paper in the top feed and close the feed slot cover, or load paper in the manual feed tray:

If the loaded paper matches the paper information displayed on the printer's LCD, select Register.
