Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)
The automatic media type sensor functions when that tray is configured to the Any Type or plain type
setting. It also functions when the Print Mode setting for that tray is set to the Auto Sense Mode
option.
After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper
weight, and gloss level.
For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.
Auto-sense settings
Full sensing (Tray 1 only) For each sheet of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects light
paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies.
Expanded sensing For the first few sheets of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects
light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and
transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.
Transparency only The product distinguishes between transparencies and non-transparencies.
Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull
media when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print,
Preferences, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change
these settings, the product automatically selects a tray using the default settings.
Source
To print by source, select a specific tray in the printer driver for the product to pull from. If you select a
tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to
load the tray with the type or size of paper for your print job before printing it. When you load the
tray, the product begins printing.
Type and size
● Printing by type or size causes the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the correct type
and size of paper.
● Selecting paper by type rather than source helps protect special paper from accidental use.
● Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special
print media, such as labels or transparencies.
