You need to specify the paper sizes and types for paper trays in order to properly print on the paper loaded in the paper trays. You can configure these settings in the tray paper settings.
The machine has functions such as a paper library and custom paper settings that make it easy to configure the tray paper settings.
Paper library
The paper library contains settings such as paper types, paper weights, and machine operating conditions (for example, paper feed, toner transfer, and toner fusing conditions) that are customized for each major commercially available paper product.
The paper library makes it easy to get the best results from your paper.
To use the settings in the paper library, you must first select the name of your paper from the paper library. The paper settings will be registered to a custom paper. Then, you will need to assign the registered custom paper to a paper tray.
Custom paper
Paper settings that are specific to your paper can be stored in the machine as a custom paper.
When registering a custom paper, you can specify its name, size, type, weight, and advanced settings.
The custom paper function enables you to configure the tray paper settings simply by assigning a custom paper to a paper tray.
The machine automatically synchronizes the custom paper settings with the media catalog information on the colour controller.
Custom papers can be registered in the following ways:
Select the paper's name from the paper library (or the saved paper library)
Modify a custom paper that has already been registered
Manually specify the paper's type and weight
Under the custom paper's advanced settings, you can specify the machine operating conditions such as paper feed, toner transfer, and toner fusing conditions. The paper library contains the advanced settings that are preconfigured so that you do not need to configure them.
When you change the paper type and weight settings of a registered custom paper, its advanced settings are initialized.
Only the machine administrator can change the advanced settings. For details, contact your machine administrator.
Saved paper library
Saves registered custom paper settings in the saved paper library.
Saved custom papers can be restored and used as a custom paper again.
Tray paper settings
The tray paper settings allow you to specify the sizes and types of paper that are loaded in the paper trays.
You can specify the tray paper settings in the following ways:
Assign a custom paper to a paper tray
Manually specify a paper size and type for a paper tray
If you use the custom paper function, you do not need to configure paper sizes and types that are specific to paper trays.
Relationships between functions
You can register the settings stored in the paper library to a custom paper.
You can save all custom papers to the saved paper library at one time.
You can restore and reuse custom papers in the saved paper library.
You can register a custom paper by manually specifying the paper's type and weight.
You can configure the tray paper settings by assigning a custom paper to each paper tray.
You can configure the tray paper settings by manually specifying paper sizes and types.
The machine automatically synchronizes the custom paper settings on the machine with the media catalog information on the colour controller.
The machine automatically synchronizes the tray paper settings on the machine and the paper tray information on the colour controller.
The procedures for making tray paper settings vary in the following examples depending on the functions that you want to use (the numbers added to the end of the following sentences correspond to the numbers in the illustration above):
To select the name of your paper from the paper library and configure the tray paper settings
Do the following procedure:
Select the name or type of the paper from the paper library (or saved paper library) and register it as a custom paper (1) (3)
For details, see Selecting the Paper's Name from the Paper Library.
After registering the paper, assign the custom paper settings to a paper tray (5)
For details, see Specifying a Custom Paper.
To register a paper type and weight that is not included in the paper library as a custom paper and configure the tray paper settings
Do the following procedure:
Register a custom paper by manually specifying the paper's type and weight (4)
For details, see Manually Specifying a Paper's Type and Weight.
After registering the paper, assign the custom paper settings to a paper tray (5)
For details, see Specifying a Custom Paper.
To assign a registered custom paper to a paper tray
Do the following procedure:
Assign the custom paper settings to a paper tray (5)
For details, see Specifying a Custom Paper.
To manually specify the paper settings for a paper tray without using the paper library or custom paper
Do the following procedure:
Manually specify the paper size and type for a paper tray in the tray paper settings (6)
For details, see Manually Specifying a Paper's Size and Type.
Only the machine administrator can do the following:
Delete custom papers from the saved paper library
Specify the “Advanced Settings” for a custom paper
For details about the recommended paper for use with this machine, see “Recommended Paper Sizes and Types”, About This Machine.
For details about the media catalog information, see the manual provided with the colour controller.
