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.
Tips
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.
Reference
For details about the Paper Setting in which paper conditions are registered for the paper to be used, refer to [Paper Setting]: [Paper Profile Setting].
Registered paper conditions can be imported and exported using an external USB flash drive. For details, refer to [Paper Setting]: [Paper Profile Setting].
The Paper Setting can be made for the following trays:
Trays of Paper Feed Unit PF-707m (Tray 1 to Tray 9)
Trays of Paper Feed Unit PF-711 (Tray 1 to Tray 3)
Upper tray/lower tray of the post inserter of Folding Unit FD-503 (PI 1, PI 2)
Upper tray / Lower tray (PI 1, PI 2) of Post Inserter PI-502 mounted on Finisher FS-532
Cover tray of Perfect Binder PB-503 (PB)
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.
