Using the automatic paper type sensor
The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects
the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to
print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the
settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.
