1. Before Making Paper Settings
This chapter provides an overview of the paper settings and explains how you can specify them.
Overview of Paper Settings
Tray paper settings
You need to specify the paper sizes and types for paper trays in order to properly print on the
paper loaded in the paper trays. You can configure these settings in the tray paper settings.
The machine has functions such as a paper library and custom paper settings that make it easy to
configure the tray paper settings.
You can specify the tray paper settings in the following ways:
• Assign a custom paper to a paper tray
• Manually specify a paper size and type for a paper tray
Paper library
The paper library contains settings such as paper types, paper weights, and machine operating
conditions (for example, paper feed, toner transfer, and toner fusing conditions) that are
customized for each major commercially available paper products and also for each major paper
types.
To use the settings in the paper library, you must first select the name or type of your paper from the
paper library. The paper settings will be registered to a custom paper. The paper library makes it
easy to get the best results from your paper.
Custom paper
You can register each type of paper that you use as a "Custom Paper" by setting a name, size,
type, weight, and other advanced settings in "Tray Paper Settings".
This function is convenient because you can register certain types of paper that you often use as
custom paper.
"Custom Paper" can also be set from the paper library.
The machine automatically synchronizes the custom paper settings with the media catalog
information on the color controller when using the color controller.
Custom papers can be registered in the following ways:
• Select the paper's name or type from the paper library (or the saved paper library)
• Modify a custom paper that has already been registered
• Manually specify the paper's type and weight
Under the custom paper's advanced settings, you can specify the machine operating conditions
such as paper feed, toner transfer, and toner fusing conditions. The paper library contains the
advanced settings that are preconfigured so that you do not need to configure them.

When you change the paper type and weight settings of a registered custom paper, its advanced
settings are initialized.
Only the machine administrator can change the advanced settings. For details, contact your
machine administrator.
Saved paper library
Saves registered custom paper settings in the saved paper library.
Saved custom papers can be restored and used as a custom paper again.
