automatic paper-type sensor

The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor determines the correct paper type and adjusts the print settings for most paper or media placed in the paper tray. Automatic is the default option in the Print dialog box.

This feature, particularly when used with HP paper and media, provides better printing results.

When the Automatic default option is selected, the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor is engaged. The printer scans the first page of a document with a blue optical sensor light to determine the best paper type setting. Once determined, the page is printed.

For more information, see

using the automatic paper type sensor.
