Sets whether to detect the paper width or not. Setting to OFF deactivates the sensor that detects the paper width when paper is loaded on the printer. This allows the user to use paper whose width is out of the sensor’s detectable range. It means that the user can print an image larger than the paper size. The user should know that doing so soils the platen and may cause a print quality or any other trouble.
