Choosing a Paper Size

The printer can feed several sizes of paper automatically. To select a paper size, simply change the paper size (P-SIZE) setting with SelecType. You may also need to adjust the paper guides on the paper cassette to match the size of the paper you want to use.

Note: If you are using the optional lower paper cassette, see Appendix A for instructions on selecting a paper size.

The table below lists all of the paper sizes on the SelecType menu. Not all the sizes in this table are marked on the paper cassette, just the more commonly used paper sizes.

You will probably use one paper size most of the time. For your convenience, you can use the SelecType Level 1 SAVE MACRO option so that the paper size you use most often is automatically selected whenever you turn on, reset, or initialize your printer. See Chapter 3 for details.
