•On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility. Then, change the
Paper Type and Paper Size settings of the tray so that they do not match the settings of any other tray.
•On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings. Then, change the Paper Type

properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.
