Paper source:
The Paper source: setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source
trays depends on the product accessories that are installed. Any optional source trays that are installed
through the Device Settings tab also appear here.
The Paper source: drop-down menu can contain the following options, depending on what has been
installed on the product:
●
Automatically Select
●
Printer auto select
●
Manual Feed in Tray 1
●
Tray 1
●
Tray 2
●
Tray 3
The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the product uses the source
tray that supports the selected paper size. If you select a source tray other than Automatically
Select, make sure that the correct paper size is loaded in the source tray.
Paper type:
The Paper type: drop-down menu shows all of the supported paper types. When you use the default
setting, Unspecified, the product uses the default paper type, which is usually Plain.
You cannot add custom paper types through the printer driver. Custom types can be added only by
using bidirectional communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query
occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If
bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the printer driver looks for custom paper types that
have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no
custom paper types are available through the printer driver.
NOTE: Selecting a paper type instructs the product to use a group of predefined settings to create the
best possible print quality for that type of paper.
CAUTION: Selecting a paper type that does not match the type of paper that is loaded in the tray can
damage the product.
The following standard types appear in the list:
●
Unspecified
●
Plain
●
Light 60-74g
●
Mid-Weight 96-110g
