autopaper

Specify this printing option to automatically select the paper tray with the appropriate paper size for the input image size. Images are also rotated in the appropriate orientation when printing. If the paper size, orientation and type are specified in this printing option, the paper tray loaded with the paper that matches the specified settings is automatically selected.

Value and behavior

  • Specify the paper trays from which to select by paper size, orientation ("paper 1", "paper 2"… "paper n"), and type ("paper type 1", "paper type 2"… "paper type n"). If no value is specified, the paper tray is selected out of all the available paper trays. However, some paper trays may be excluded as selection targets.

  • Specify the tolerance in percent ("%" symbol not required) to allow for how much part of an image can extend beyond the appropriate paper size margins that are created.

  • If "10%" is specified as the "tolerance", the paper tray is selected assuming that the paper is large enough to allow printing of an image 10% larger in size (110% overall) than otherwise determined. If "-10%" is specified, the paper tray is selected assuming that the paper only allows printing of an image 10% smaller (90% overall). If no value is specified, a paper tray is selected based on the setting for "V. Auto Paper Select: Margin Tolerance" on the RTIFF Menu.

Explanation

  • If either of the "mag", "xmag", "ymag", "tifffit", "notifffit", "autoreduce", "leftspace", "rightspace", "topspace", "bottomspace", "xoffset", or "yoffset" printing options are specified, or if either of "8. Reproduction Ratio", "J. Reduce/Enlarge Ratio: Horizontal", "K. Reduce/Enlarge Ratio: Vertical", "T. Auto Reduce/Enlarge to Scanned Image Size", "b. Auto Reduce", "9. Left Margin", "A. Right Margin", "B. Top Margin", "C. Bottom Margin", "D. Print Position: X Offset (Horizontal)", or "E. Print Position: Y Offset (Vertical)" has been configured, the paper tray is selected according to the image size that reflects these configurations and designations.

  • If no paper tray loaded with paper that matches the specified size, orientation and type is available, then paper is fed from the paper tray indicated on the control panel.

  • If values "Paper 1"–"Paper n" are specified, a paper tray is selected from those loaded with the paper matching the specified sizes and orientations. If no paper tray loaded with the paper of the specified values is available, then paper is fed from the paper tray indicated on the control panel.

  • If values "Paper 1"–"Paper n" are not specified, a paper tray is selected from all the available paper trays.

  • If values "paper type 1"–"paper type n" are specified, a paper tray is selected from those loaded with paper matching the specified type. If no paper tray with the paper of the specified type is available, then paper is fed from the paper tray indicated on the control panel.

  • If no value for the paper type is specified, a paper tray is selected from those loaded with "Plain Paper" or "Recycled Paper".

  • If the image size is larger than the largest paper size loaded in the selected target paper trays, the paper tray loaded with the paper of the largest size out of all paper trays is selected.

  • When this printing option is specified, the "tray", "paper", "portrait", "landscape", "multicols", and "multirows" printing options and the settings for Select "1. Paper Tray", "2. Paper Size", "5. Orientation", "H. Multipages Per Sheet: No. of Col.", "I. Multiple Pages Per Sheet: No. of Rows", and "U. Auto Paper Select" on the RTIFF Menu are ignored.

  • If a tolerance value is specified in this printing option, the setting for "V. Auto Paper Select: Margin Tolerance" on the RTIFF Menu is ignored.

  • If opposite orientation print is specified by PJL or its relevant printing option, the images on the paper may be rotated by 180 degrees when printed.

  • If "On" is selected in "X. Synchro Cut for Custom Size" on the RTIFF Menu, or if the "autopaper" printing option is specified with the value "freecut", custom size paper trays may be given priority over other paper trays.

About "freecut" and "nofreecut"

By specifying either of these values in the "autopaper" printing option, you can specify whether or not to automatically identify the size of an image to be printed and print the image of any custom size on the smallest size paper that matches the image size.

  • Any image that does not fit in an area within ±10 mm of a regular paper size even if it is rotated is identified as a "custom size".

  • If "freecut" or "nofreecut" is specified in the "autopaper" printing option, the setting for "X. Synchro Cut for Custom Size" on the RTIFF Menu is ignored.

  • If "freecut" and "freesize" is specified in print option when printing from a custom size paper tray, the "freesize" specification is ignored. However, the "freesize" specification is applied if the image is printed on paper from a regular size paper tray.

  • If the size of the image to be printed is judged to be the same as the regular size, or if no paper tray that allows printing of the image is available, this item is ignored.

  • Paper trays are searched in the following steps:

    1. The size of an image to be printed is determined.

    2. If the image is of a custom size, a paper tray loaded with paper of the smallest width on which the image fits is selected first.

      • If the length along the long side edge of the image is the same as or shorter than the width of the paper loaded in this custom size paper tray, the image is printed on the paper from this paper tray.

      • If the length along the short side edge of the image is the same as or shorter than the width of the paper loaded in this custom size paper tray, the image is printed on the paper from this paper tray.

    3. If no custom size paper tray with paper matched to the image is available, this printing option is ignored, and the image is printed in the same manner as that of "Auto Paper Select".

    4. If the size of a custom paper tray is changed while printing, the change made on the size is applied as the new setting for the paper tray.

About "speedprority" , "lefpriority" and "sefpriority".

  • If "speedpriority" is specified in "autopaper", Portrait (Short Edge Feed) for vertical oriented images, Landscape (Long Edge Feed) for horizontal oriented image trays are prioritized when trays have different orientations for the same sized paper.

  • If "lefpriority" is specified in "autopaper", Landscape (Long Edge Feed) is prioritized when trays have different orientations for the same sized paper.

  • If "sefpriority" is specified in "autopaper", Portrait (Short Edge Feed) is prioritized when trays have different orientations for the same sized paper.

  • If any of "speedpriority", "lefpriority", or "sefpriority" is specified in "autopaper", "h. Paper Orientation Priority" setting on the RTIFF Menu is ignored.

  • If none of "speedpriority", "lefpriority", or "sefpriority" is specified in "autopaper", "h. Paper Orientation Priority" setting on the RTIFF Menu is used.
