From Registration of User Paper Types to Use

This section explains the procedures for selecting the paper type according to usage, registering the paper type under a unique name, and printing a file using the registered paper type.

This function can be used
- when the printer is operating in a network,
- in conjunction with the printer driver, and
This function cannot be used
- with the printer driver's [Manage Preset List...] function (registered paper types appear as [Plain] in the printer driver) and
- if the printer and computer are not using bi-directional communication.
Also, be aware that
- the printer driver might not display the paper type name correctly if it is registered using an unsupported language,
- the control panel might not display the paper type name correctly if it is registered using non-alphanumeric characters (i.e., other than a-z, A-Z, or 0-9), and
- the printer's logs do not record names of user paper types.

The example below explains setting a custom type paper under the name "Invoice A" and feeding it from the bypass tray.

Using Web Image Monitor, register the name under [User Paper Type].
- Enter "Invoice A" for [Paper Name] and select [Plain Paper (61 to 90g/m²)] for [Paper Type].
- When printing a file, the paper type is automatically set by selecting [User Paper Types] on the printer driver setting screen.
- For details about this procedure, see "Registering Names to Paper Types".
In Web Image Monitor, set [User Paper Type] for the bypass tray.
- Set [Paper Type] for the tray to "Invoice A".
- For details about this procedure, see "Setting User Paper Types to Trays".
Load the paper you want to use on the bypass tray.
- Set an unprinted paper on the bypass tray.
- For details about this procedure, see "Loading Paper".
Using the printer driver, print a document on the registered custom type paper.
- Select [Invoice A] for [Paper Type:], then proceed with the printing. When [Paper Type:] is set to [Invoice A], Plain paper that is suitable for "Invoice A" is selected automatically. Registering a descriptive name makes selecting a paper type from the [Paper Type:] list easier.
- For details about this procedure, see "Printing Using Registered Paper Types".

You can register up to eight user paper types.
