Registering Unique Names to Paper Types
You can register a unique name to a paper type using Web Image Monitor. Registering a name which represents paper type or usage allows you to easily specify the paper type appropriate for your purpose.
This function can be used when the machine is operating in a network and bidirectional communication is enabled.
Paper types with unique names registered using this function can only be specified using the PCL 5e/6 printer drivers.
The machine logs do not record the names of user paper types.
Registering Names to Paper Types
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., characters that are not one of the following: a–z, A–Z, or 0–9).
