Paper Selection
You can specify the paper size when printing files stored in the storage.
IMPORTANT
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
NOTE
For information on paper types, see "Available Paper Stock."
