Overview of Paper Setting

Paper Type

The following seven paper types are provided according to the plainness of paper.

For details on paper types, refer to Paper types.

Paper Type:

Plain, Fine, Color Specific, Coated-GL, Coated-ML, Coated-GO, Coated-MO, Textured^*1

Profile Name

No entry can be made in setting the paper conditions for the tray to be used. Enter the paper profile name when you register the paper conditions specified for a tray.

Up to 50 one-byte characters (25 two-byte characters) can be entered for the name.

Paper Size

Selecting Standard automatically detects the standard size of paper loaded in the selected tray.

Selecting Custom allows you to enter the desired dimensions from the screen. This setting can also be made by recalling a custom size previously registered.

To specify Tab Paper, select either A4Tlong edge feed or 8.5 11Tlong edge feed, and specify the number of tabs.
