Setting the printer to detect the paper size loaded in a tray

Size sensing disables or enables auto-size sensing on trays. Size sensing also lets the printer detect the difference between similar paper sizes that it otherwise cannot.

The printer trays cannot distinguish the paper size when both A5 and Statement sizes or B5 and Executive sizes are loaded in the printer trays. From the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to detect.
