set paper detection

The printer automatically detects the paper size and type by scanning the paper in the In tray or the photo tray. You can set the printer to ask for the paper size and type each time you print by turning the paper detection sensor off. By default, this option is set to On.

Note: The printer does not automatically detect the paper type and size when borderless printing is turned on. For more information, see set borderless printing on page 17.

Note: The Paper detection setting applies to print jobs that you start from the printer’s control panel. If you want the printer to use its auto sensors when you start print jobs from your computer, select Automatic as the paper type in the printer preferences dialog box. For more information, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help.
