Overview of [Paper Setting]

The [Paper Setting] offers two types of usage depending on what the setting is intended for.

One is the [Paper Setting] that allows you to set paper conditions to a paper tray.

The other is the [Paper Setting] that allows you to register paper conditions according to paper to be used.

This section describes how to make the [Paper Setting] for a paper tray. It also describes how to register set paper conditions.

  • While a job is running, you can change [Paper Setting] for the trays that are not used in the job. However, the paper conditions cannot be changed when the key is dimmed.

The [Paper Setting] can be made for the following trays:

  • Main Body Trays (Trays 1 and 2)

  • Trays of Paper Feeder Unit PF-709 (Trays 3 to 5)

  • Large Capacity Unit LU-411/Large Capacity Unit LU-412 (Tray 3)

  • Multi Bypass Tray MB-507

  • Upper tray / Lower tray (PI1, PI2) of Post Inserter PI-502 mounted on Finisher FS-532

[Paper Setting] for the tray to be used consists of the following paper conditions that can be specified as desired. Depending on the paper setting, the key for the options may be dimmed and cannot be selected.
