Default Paper Size

[Letter]*, [Legal], [A4], [B5], [A3], [B4], [A5], [11x17], [Executive], [Statement], [Env. KAKUGATA 2], [Env. NAGAGATA 3], [Env. YOGATANAGA 3], [Envelope Monarch], [Env. No. 10], [Envelope ISO-B5], [Envelope ISO-C5], [Envelope DL], [12_5/8x17_11/16], [12x18]

This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.

Default Paper Type

[Thin], [Plain 1]*, [Plain 2], [Plain 3], [Recycled], [Color], [Pre-punched], [Bond], [Heavy 1], [Heavy 2], [Heavy 3], [Transparency], [Tracing], [1-Side Coated 1], [1-Side Coated 2], [2-Side Coated 1], [2-Side Coated 2], [Labels], [Envelope]

This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.

Paper Size Override

[On], [Off]*

If paper of the size that is set in the printer driver has not been loaded in the paper drawer, the paper that is printed is changed to the following sizes.

Printer Driver Setting	Paper
Letter	A4
A4	Letter
11" x 17"	A3
A3	11" x 17"

[On]

The paper size is changed.

[Off]

The paper supply message is displayed and the paper size is not changed.

IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that lacks a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. (See "Enabling Paper Drawer Auto Selection.") If you are printing from an OS that lacks a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops.

NOTE
Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper or Heavy Paper. Plain Paper: 17 lb bond to 28 lb bond (64 g/m2 to 105 g/m2) Heavy Paper: 29 lb bond to 80 lb cover (106 g/m2 to 220 g/m2) Canon transparency film is recommended for printing on transparencies. Canon label paper is recommended for printing on labels. Heavy Paper, Transparency, Tracing Paper, Labels, Bond Paper, and Envelope cannot be printed using two-sided printing. The paper size does not change if there is no paper in the paper source of the size that is set in the printer driver, even if you set [Paper Size Override] to 'On'.
