Understanding the Automatic Paper Type
Sensor
Your printer has an automatic paper type sensor that detects the following paper types:
• Plain paper.
• Coated paper.
• Glossy/photo paper.
• Transparencies.
If you load one of these paper types, the printer detects the paper type and automatically
adjusts the paper type settings.
NOTE: Your printer cannot detect the paper size.
To choose the paper size on which you want to print:
1 With your document open, click File
→
Print.
2 In the Print dialog box, click Preferences or Properties (depending on your program or
operating system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
3 From the Paper Setup tab, select the paper size you are using.
4 Click OK.
The automatic paper type sensor is on unless you turn it off. If you want to turn it off:
1 With your document open, click File
→
Print.
2 In the Print dialog box, click Preferences or Properties (depending on your operating
system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
3 Click Options.
