Understanding The Paper Type Sensor - Dell J740 Owner's Manual

Understanding the paper type sensor

Your printer has a paper type sensor that detects these paper types:
• Plain paper
• Coated paper
• Glossy/photo paper
• Transparencies
If you load one of these paper types, the printer detects the paper type and automatically
adjusts the paper type settings and print resolution.
NOTE: Your printer cannot detect the paper size.
To choose the paper size:
With your document open, click File

In the Print dialog box, click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup (depending

on your program or operating system).
The Print Properties screen appears.
Click the Paper Setup tab, and then select the paper size you are using.
