Paper Setting: Registering the Paper Conditions
Register the frequently used paper setting as a paper profile. You can make print settings of the tray by calling the paper profile.
This section describes how to select a paper size and register the paper profile.
You can also register paper profiles using [Reg./Del. Paper Set.] on the [MACHINE] screen. For details, refer to Register/Delete Paper Setting: Registering/Deleting Profile.
For details about the paper setting of the paper tray, how to register a currently used paper setting as a paper profile, and how to call a paper profile, refer to Paper Setting: Setting Paper for Tray.
Paper setting consists of the following 12 conditions that can be specified as desired.
Setting item | Description | Setting options |
|---|---|---|
Paper Type | The following seven paper types are provided according to the plainness of paper. | Plain, Fine, Color Specific, Coated-GL, Coated-ML, Coated-GO, Coated-MO |
Profile Name | Enter the desired paper profile name. | You can enter up to 50 one-byte characters (25 two-byte characters). |
Document size | Selecting Standard allows you to select the standard size of paper. 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 A4T | Standard: Custom: Lengthwise 100.0 mm to 330.2 mm / 3.93" to 12.98", Widthwise 148.0 mm to 487.7 mm / 5.81" to 16.97" Tab Paper: A4T |
