[Function Settings] [Printer] [Printer Settings]Specify for each paper source whether the printer driver settings are given priority over the paper size and type specified in [Paper Set.] in the [Home] screen.
If you specify [On] in this setting, the machine will print from the paper source specified by the printer driver, regardless of the paper setting on the machine.
Also, if [On] is specified here and the size of the paper loaded differs markedly from that specified in the printer driver settings, you can specify whether printing proceeds anyway or printing is stopped and an error message is displayed.
