Setting the paper size and type
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the

menu. The Paper Type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
From the home screen navigate to:

The factory default Paper Type setting is Plain Paper.
