41.3 UNEXPECTED PAPER SIZE

The paper size you are trying to print is not the same as the settings for the tray.

Make sure that all trays are correctly adjusted for size. (The printer will continue trying to print the job until size settings are correct.)

If you are trying to print from Tray 1, make sure the printer’s control panel setting for paper size is correctly configured.

If you are trying to print from the optional 500sheet tray, be sure to set the paper size dial to match the paper size loaded in the tray.

After performing the actions above, press [Go]. The page containing the error will automatically be reprinted. (Or, you might want to press

Printing Tasks

Manually Feeding Paper from Tray 1

The Manual Feed feature allows you to print on special paper from Tray 1, such as envelopes or letterhead. If Manual Feed is selected, the printer will print only from Tray 1.

Select Manual Feed through the software or printer driver. Manual Feed can also be enabled from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel.

When Manual Feed is selected, if TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST the printer automatically prints (if paper is in the tray). If TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE the printer prompts to load Tray 1 whether or not Tray 1 is loaded. This enables you to load different paper if necessary. Press [Go] to print from Tray 1.
