Printing by Type and Size of Paper

You can configure the printer to select paper by type (such as plain or letterhead) and size (such as letter or A4), as opposed to source (a paper tray).

Benefits of Printing by Type and Size of Paper

If you frequently use several different kinds of paper, once trays are set up correctly, you do not have to check which paper is loaded in each tray before you print. This is especially helpful when the printer is shared and more than one person loads or removes paper.

Printing by type and size of paper is a way to be sure that print jobs always print on the desired paper. (Some printers have a feature that “locks out” trays to prevent printing on the wrong paper. Printing by type and size of paper eliminates the need to lock out trays.)
