Matching the Paper Size before Printing
The printer automatically selects the paper size specified in the Page Size setting on the
Media tab by default when you are printing on regular paper. However, the printer supports a
wide variety of printing media depending on your printer model.
You can specify the media type in the Media Type setting for automatic paper source
selection when using recycled paper, labels, or transparencies. You can also specify the
finishing settings for best results. This function can be disabled in the PCL XL detail settings.

Labels, transparencies, and envelopes can be printed using the multi-purpose tray. Ensure
the paper is properly loaded by following the instructions outlined in the supplied printer's
Operation Guide.
When paper is loaded properly in the paper cassette, the printer can automatically detect the
paper size. However, it is necessary to use the print operator panel on the printer to assign
the media type of the paper cassette so that the printer can recognize it. The steps to specify
the media settings are listed below.
1.
Load the paper in a paper cassette or the multi-purpose tray.
Use the multi-purpose tray in cassette mode (the default). For further details on multi-purpose
tray modes, refer to the printer's Operation Guide.
2.
Specify the media type in the print operator panel on the printer.
3.
Access the printer Properties and click the Media tab.
