Work Procedures for Paper
Paper Profile Settings
There are 2 procedures for when working with paper.
Ensure that the work flows for these procedures are understood properly to carry out work efficiently.
Tips
- "New paper" refers to paper that has not been used on the system previously.
- "Previously used paper" refers to paper that has a paper profile registered on the system. Even if the paper type and weight are the same, if the paper manufacturer and paper brand name differ, the paper characteristics may differ in the details. When using new paper, it is recommended to register a new paper profile.
- Registering paper profiles for each paper variety used is convenient as it allows detailed adjustments to be made for each of these varieties.
Using New Paper
Step 3
Measure the paper and set an appropriate paper profile
Measure new paper using Media Sensor, and search the already registered paper profiles to see if there is a suitable one available.

Step 5
Change the settings as necessary
Advanced settings can be made to suit the loaded paper. For example, if a test 2-sided print produces images on the front and back sides of the paper that are not aligned, adjust the image positions using [Both Sides Adj.].

Guidelines for Selecting Paper Profiles in Step 3
- [Paper Type & Weight]: Select when you want to register a new paper profile. Even if the type or weight of the paper loaded into the Paper tray is unknown, using this option allows you to more easily perform paper settings.
- [User Profile]: Select if you have forgotten the name of a registered paper profile. Displays candidate user profiles (paper profiles created by the user) based on the paper measurement results.
- [Preset Profile]: Select to quickly set a paper profile. Displays preset candidate profiles (paper profiles registered by default) based on the paper measurement result.
Tips
When There Are No Suitable Paper Profiles in Step 3
- Register new paper profiles. For details, refer to What Is [Paper Measuring]? or [Add/Edit].
Tips
When Settings Were Changed in Step 5
- For the paper profile storage method, select [New Store]. This registers the appropriate paper profile for the loaded paper. Do not select [Overwrite]. It will overwrite paper profiles.
Using Previously Used Paper
Step 3
Recall settings from the paper profile
Recall registered paper profiles for when using paper which has been used previously.
