Dell 942 Understanding the Automatic Paper Type Sensor

NOTE: Do not force paper into the printer. The paper should be flat against the paper support surface

and the right edge should be flush against the right paper guide.

Your printer has an automatic paper type sensor that detects the following paper types:
