By registering the paper size and the media type loaded on the rear tray or in the cassette, 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 print settings.
The default display setting is different between when you print or copy from the operation panel of the printer and when you print using the printer driver.
After loading paper:
-
When you close the feed slot cover:
The screen to register the rear tray paper information is displayed.
Register the paper size and the media type according to the loaded paper. To do this, tap on Page size to select the size of paper loaded in the rear tray. When the list of paper sizes appears, tap on the paper size that is loaded. Then, tap on Type to specify the type of paper. From the list of papers displayed on the touch screen, tap on the type that is loaded into the rear tray. Tap Register to complete this process.
-
When you insert the cassette:
The screen to register the cassette paper information is displayed.
Register the paper size and the media type according to the loaded paper. To do this, tap on Page size to select the size of paper loaded in the cassette. When the list of paper sizes appears, tap on the paper size that is loaded. Then, tap Register to complete this process.
* You can load only plain paper in the cassette.
When the paper settings for printing or copying are different from the paper information registered to the printer:
Ex:
When you start printing or copying, a message is displayed.
Selecting OK on the touch screen displays the paper setting specified for printing or copying under the message.
Check the message and select OK. When the screen to select the operation is displayed, select one of the operations below.
Depending on the setting, the choices below may not be displayed.
-
Print with the loaded paper.
-
Select if you want to print on the paper loaded without changing the paper settings.
-
For example, when the paper setting for printing or copying is A5 and the paper information registered to the printer is A4, the printer starts printing or copying with A5 on the paper loaded.
-
Replace the paper and print
-
Select if you want to print after replacing the paper of the rear tray or the cassette.

For example, when the paper setting for printing or copying is A5 and the paper information registered to the printer is A4, you load A5 sized paper before you start printing or copying.

The paper information registration screen is displayed after replacing the paper and closing the feed slot cover or inserting the cassette. Register the paper information according to the paper that you loaded.
