Paper Settings
By registering the paper size of paper loaded on the rear tray, you can prevent the printer from misprinting by displaying the error code before printing starts when the paper size of the loaded paper differs from the print settings.
Media type is set depending on the paper size specified on the LCD.

- For example, when the paper size setting for printing is A5 and the paper size setting set to A4 on the LCD, you load A5 sized paper before you start printing.
