Setting Paper Types and Sizes
Setting Paper Trays
When loading paper in Tray 2 or the 550-Sheet Feeder (optional), it is necessary to set the 
paper type on the control panel. 
When loading paper in Tray 1 (MPT), set the paper size and type on the control panel when 
printing. When MPT Mode has been set to Panel Specified (default) on the control panel, you 
can set the paper size and type on the control panel.
This section describes how to set the paper size and type on the control panel.
Note: When you set MPT Mode to Panel Specified, printing will be performed only when 
the settings for the paper size and type configured on the print driver match the settings on the 
control panel. When the settings on the print driver and control panel do not match, follow the 
instructions displayed on the control panel.
You can also display the message to set the paper size and type on the control panel every time 
you load paper into each tray.
