■Default Paper Size
Letter*, Legal, A4, A3, A5, 11" x 17", Executive, Statement, Envelope Monarch, Envelope COM10, Envelope ISO-B5, Envelope ISO-C5, Envelope DL, Envelope Y4, 12_5/8" x 17_11/16", and 12" x18"
This parameter defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set within the application software, when no paper source is specified.
IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this setting as [ON]. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the Reference Guide.)
■Default Paper Type
Plain (Thin), Plain*, Plain (Heavy), Recycled, Color, Pre-punched, Bond Paper, Heavy 1, Heavy 2, Transparency, Tracing Paper, Labels, Coated, and Envelope
This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.

•Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper, Heavy Paper 1, or Heavy Paper 2.
-Plain Paper: 17 to 28 lb bond (64 to 105 g/m2)
-Heavy Paper 1: 28 lb bond to 60 lb cover (106 to 163 g/m2)
-Heavy Paper 2: 60 to 80 lb cover (164 to 220 g/m2)
