printer to automatically detect the paper type loaded in your printer:
1From the software application File menu, choose Print.
2From the Printer pop-up menu, choose Lexmark Z65.
3From the pop-up menu in the upper left, choose Quality & Media.
4From the Tray 1 (Front) pop-up menu, choose Automatic.
5Click Print.
Note: Although the printer can detect the type of paper you are using, it cannot
detect the paper size. Make sure you select the appropriate paper size in
the Page Setup dialog.
