You can turn off the paper size check and/or paper alignment check if you don’t want to use these monitoring features.

1.Press the SelecType button. PRINTER SETTING MENU appears on the display.

2.Press the Item button repeatedly until PAPER SIZE CHK=ON or PAPER ALIGN CHK=ON appears on the display.

3.Press the + button. PAPER SIZE CHK=OFF or PAPER ALIGN CHK=OFF appears on the display.

You can use the control panel to select an individual interface for sending data to the printer. Follow these steps:

1.Press the SelecType button. PRINTER SETTING MENU appears on the display.
