automatic paper-type sensor
The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor automatically selects the print settings appropriate for
the media being printed on, particularly when used with HP paper and media.
When the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor is engaged, the printer scans the first page of a
document with a blue optical sensor light to determine the best paper-type setting. Once
the paper-type setting is determined, the page is printed.
