Solution
When you loaded paper in the multi-purpose tray, specify the paper size for the multi-purpose tray using the control panel. When using paper or envelopes of standard size, specify its size. When loading non-standard size paper, specify CUSTOM SIZE or CUSTOM SIZER. The paper size setting for the multi-purpose tray is set to "A4" by default.
Specify the paper size setting for the multi-purpose tray using the following procedure.
IMPORTANT
- Match the paper size specified in the SETUP menu of the printer and that specified in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message <PC LOAD "size"> appears. In this case, the setting for TRAY PAPER SIZE is changed to that in the printer driver by pressing [Online], allowing you to continue printing.
- When non-standard size paper is loaded, specify the setting for TRAY PAPER SIZE in the control panel as follows.
- When the paper is loaded in landscape orientation (Only when UFR II Printer Driver is used): CUSTOM SIZE
- When the paper is loaded in portrait orientation: CUSTOM SIZER
- When you change the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray frequently, it is convenient if TRAY PAPER SIZE in the control panel is set to MIXED SIZES. If TRAY PAPER SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, you do not need to specify the setting for TRAY PAPER SIZE each time you load the different size paper. However, when specifying MIXED SIZES, make sure that the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray matches the paper size specified in the printer driver before printing. If they do not match, the printer may stop printing, displaying the message <41 CHK PAPER SZE>, or a paper jam may occur. Be sure to check if the paper size specified in the printer driver matches the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray before using the printer.
- When printing custom size paper from UFR II Printer Driver, you can load the paper either in portrait or landscape orientation. However, if you want to print custom size paper of its long edges 297.0 mm or less when TRAY PAPER SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, load the paper in landscape orientation. When you are not printing from UFR II Printer Driver, load the paper in portrait orientation.
