Registering the Paper Size and Type for a Paper Source

You can register the paper size and type for each paper source. This setting enables you to achieve the appropriate print results.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the paper could jam. If you have changed the size or type of paper loaded in the paper source, make sure to change this setting as well. If you have changed the size or type of paper loaded in the paper source, make sure to change the settings of [Paper Size Group for Auto Recog. in Drawer]. For instructions on how to change the settings, see "Setting the Paper Size Group for Auto Recognition in the Paper Source."
