Paper Size Check
On
*
Choose whether the printer automatically detects (
On
), or does not
automatically detect (
Off
), the width of the media. We generally
recommend to operate with this setting set to
On
. Try choosing
Off
if a
paper setting error is displayed when the paper is correctly loaded. Note,
however, that the printer may print outside the paper when
Off
is
selected. If it prints beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of the printer
becomes dirty with ink.

Paper Skew Check
On
*
If
On
is selected, an error will be displayed in the control panel and printing
will stop if the paper is skewed; select
Off
to disable this feature.
On
is
recommended in most circumstances as skewed paper may cause the
printer to jam.
