Paper size/type mismatch
Paper size/type mismatch occurs when the requested size is not available in the printer.
This can be caused by running out of paper in a tray that is configured for the requested
paper, or by requesting a paper that is not configured in the printer. The printer goes
off line under paper mismatch conditions. It automatically returns on-line and continues
printing once you resolve the paper mismatch condition.
If a tray is configured for the requested paper, but the tray is out of paper, the control panel
display screen prompts you to load the requested paper (size and type) in the appropriate
tray. Once you load the paper in the tray, printing continues.
If the request is for paper that is not configured in the printer, the control panel display
screen prompts you to load the requested paper in the first tray of the tray sequence.
