Tips
  • [12 by 18] in [Paper Size] is equivalent to 304.8 by 457.2 mm that is slightly larger than A3.

  • In [Original Size], you can select A0, A1, A2, B1, B2, or B3. However, the original is reduced to the size specified in [Paper Size]. In this case, you cannot select [Same as Original Size] in [Paper Size].
    Likewise, the large size registered in Print Server Properties is also reduced to the size specified in [Paper Size]. The paper set in Print Server Properties is available when the [Display paper set in Print Server Properties] check box is selected in the [Settings] tab.

  • When you want to print on the entire paper of the standard size, select "W" for each standard size in [Original Size]. The original is printed at the center of paper larger than the original.
    For example, if you want to center and print 8-1/2 by 11 (A4) size data on 11 by 17 (A3) sized paper, create data with the "8-1/2 by 11W" ("A4W") size, and then, using the printer driver, set [Original Size] to [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]) and specify the paper tray to be used as [Paper Tray].
    On this machine, load 11 by 17 (A3) size paper into the tray to use, and check the paper size as follows.
    Select the tray in [Paper] for the copy mode. Select [Change Tray Setting] - [Wide Paper], specify [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]) and make sure that the [Paper Size] is set to [Auto Detect] and 11 by 17 (A3) is displayed.
    If 12 by 18 paper is loaded, select [12 by 18] for [Paper Size].
    To print on custom sized paper, use the Bypass Tray. In [Change Tray Setting] - [Wide Paper], select [8-1/2 by 11W] ([A4W]), and enter the paper size to use in [Change Size].

  • In [Paper Type], specify [Side2] when printing on the back side of paper.

  • In [Paper Type], [User] specifies the paper type registered in this machine.

  • If you have registered the custom papers in [Set Paper Name by User...] of [Configure] tab, you can select the registered custom papers from the [Paper Type] list.
