Using the automatic paper-type sensor

The automatic paper-type sensor automatically selects the print settings appropriate for the media in
the printer, particularly when used with HP media.

The sensor scans the first page of the loaded media, determines the media type, and selects the most
suitable settings for your document, and then prints the document.

NOTE

If you know the media type, you can select the media in the Paper Type drop-down list.

Following are guidelines for using the automatic paper-type sensor:

When printing with higher-quality media, it is recommended that you select the specific paper type
in the printer driver.

Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can interfere with the automatic paper-
type sensor.
