Setting the Paper Size and Type

Solution

Setting the Paper Size and Type

  • When making copies on LTR-size paper after having continuously copied on paper smaller than LTR-size paper, the copies may be dirty. To prevent copies from being dirty, wait about 1 minute before making copies.
  • The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
  • The settings changed in the Menu do not return automatically to the settings you set previously. Change to the previous settings again if necessary.
  • When making copies of a small size or heavy paper, etc, the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual.
  • If you intend to make a copy and print with a thermal transfer printer using the same sheet of paper, make the copy first. Failure to do so may make copies dirty or cause a paper jam.
  • When copying onto transparencies, remove each transparency from the output tray as it is output.

Setting Paper Size

At the factory, the paper size has already been set to [LTR]. Normally, you can make copies in this setting. When making copies on other sizes of paper, you need to specify the paper size according to the following:

  1. Press <Menu>.


  2. Press <> or <> to select [1.PAPER SETTINGS], then press <Set>.


  3. Press <> or <> to select [1. CASSETTE] or [2. MP TRAY], then press <Set>.


  4. Press <> or <> to select [1.PAPER SIZE], then press <Set>.


  5. Press <> or <> to select the appropriate paper size (A4, B5, A5, LTR, LGL, EXECUTIV, ENVELOPE for the paper cassette, A4, B5, A5, LTR, LGL, EXECUTIV, ENVELOPE or FREESIZE for the multi-purpose feeder), then press <Set>.

    When [ENVELOPES] is selected:
    Press <> or <> to select the appropriate envelope type (DL, ISO-C5, COM10, or Monarch), then press <Set>.

    When [FREE SIZE] is selected:
    Press <> or <> to select [VERTICAL SIZE] or [HORZONTAL SIZE], then press <Set>.
    Use the numeric buttons, or press <> or <> to specify vertical or horizontal sizes of the paper in millimeters (mm).
    Available settings range in [VERTICAL SIZE]: 127 mm to 356 mm (5" to 14")
    Available settings range in [HORIZONTAL SIZE]: 76 mm to 216 mm (3" to 8 1/2")
    Press <Set>.
    Repeat the steps above to specify vertical and horizontal sizes of the paper.



  6. Press <Stop/Reset> to return to standby mode.



Setting the Paper Type

[PLAIN PAPER] is selected as the default paper type. When making copies on paper other than plain paper, you can specify the paper type according to the following. Specifying the paper type can prevent poor copy quality, or the printout not being printed correctly.

  1. Press <Menu>.


  2. Press <> or <> to select [1.PAPER SETTINGS], then press <Set>.


  3. Press <> or <> to select [1. CASSETTE] or [2. MP TRAY], then press <Set>.


  4. Press <> or <> to select [1.PAPER TYPE], then press <Set>.


  5. Press <> or <> to select the appropriate paper type (PLAIN PAPER, PLAIN PAPER L, HEAVY PAPER, HEAVY PAPER H, or TRANSPARENCY), then press <Set>.


  6. Press <Stop/Reset> to return to standby mode.
