Fixing the Paper Size and Type to Use in the Multi-purpose Tray
By default, when paper is loaded in the multi-purpose tray, the screen for setting the paper is displayed on the control panel.
If you always load the same paper in the multi-purpose tray, you can fix the paper size and type. This prevents the paper settings screen from being displayed, saving you the trouble of configuring the settings.
