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:

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.
-
Print on set paper
-
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 A5 and the paper size setting set to A4 on the printer, the printer starts printing with A5 on the paper loaded.
-
Printing after replacing paper
-
You print after replacing paper loaded in 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.
-
Cancel printing
-
Press the Stop button to cancel printing and change the paper size setting specified for printing. Try printing again.
