Overview of Paper Settings

Tray paper settings

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 master library and custom paper settings that make it easy to configure the tray paper settings.

You can specify the tray paper settings in the following ways:

  • Assign a custom paper to a paper tray

  • Manually specify the paper settings such as a size and type for a paper tray

Master library

The master 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 products and also for each major paper types.

To use the settings in the master library, you must first select the name or type of your paper from the master library. The paper settings will be registered to a custom paper. The master library makes it easy to get the best results from your paper.

Custom paper

You can register each type of paper that you use as a "Custom Paper" by setting a name, size, type, weight, and other advanced settings in "Tray Paper Settings".

This function is convenient because you can register certain types of paper that you often use as custom paper.

"Custom Paper" can also be set from the master library.

The machine automatically synchronizes the custom paper settings with the media catalog information on the color controller when using the color controller.

Custom papers can be registered in the following ways:

  • Select the paper's name or type from the master library

  • Modify a custom paper that has already been registered

  • Manually specify the paper's settings such as the type and weight you want to use

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 master library contains the advanced settings that are preconfigured so that you do not need to configure them.

When you change the paper's settings such as the type and weight of the custom paper you register, the paper's advanced settings are initialized.

Only the machine administrator can change the advanced settings. For details, contact your machine administrator.

Saves all types of registered custom paper to an SD card at one time.

Saved custom papers can be restored and used as a custom paper again.
