							Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)
The automatic paper type sensor functions when a tray is configured to the Any Type or plain type
setting.
After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper
weight, and gloss level.
For more control, select a specific paper type in the job or configure the tray for a specific paper type.
Auto-sense settings
Full sensing (Tray 1 only) For each sheet of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects light
paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies.
Expanded sensing
NOTE: This is the default setting for all
trays. For the first few sheets of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects
light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and
transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.
Transparency only The product distinguishes between transparencies and non-transparencies. This
setting provides the fastest printing, but for some paper types it might reduce print
quality.

Correctly using, storing, and monitoring the print cartridge can help ensure high-quality print output.
Settings for print cartridges
Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life
●A 
  Low  message—where  is the color of the supply, and 
is the type of supply—appears when a supply is nearing the estimated end of its useful life.
● A 
  Very Low  message appears when a supply is at its estimated end of
useful life.
Print-quality problems can occur when using a  supply that is at its estimated end of life.
Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control panel
You can enable or disable the default settings at  any time, and you do not have to re-enable them
when you install a new cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the control panel, touch the  Administration button.
2. Open the following menus:
●Manage Supplies
● Supply Settings
● Black Cartridge
 or Color Cartridges
● Very Low Settings
3. Select one of the following options:
●Select the 
Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to
continue printing.
NOTE: Using the Continue  setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer
interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
● Select the 
Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you
replace the cartridge.
● Select the 
Prompt to continue  option to set the product to stop printing (including printing
faxes) and prompt you to replace the cart ridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and
continue printing.
If you select the  Stop or Prompt to continue  option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very
Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.
When the product is set to the  Stop or Prompt to continue  option, there is some risk that faxes will not
print when the product resumes printing. This can occu r if the product has received more faxes than the
memory can hold while the product is waiting.

							The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the
Continue option for color and black cartridg es, but print quality might degrade.
