  • pressing any button on the control panel

  • loading paper in a tray

  • opening or closing the front cover

  • pulling a tray out or pushing a tray in

[Note]

This option does not appear if you selected Auto for Paper Source from printer driver.

Paper Substitution

Automatically substitutes the printer driver’s paper size to prevent the paper mismatch between Letter and A4. For example, if you have A4 paper in the tray but you set the paper size to Letter in the printer driver, the machine prints on A4 paper and vice versa.

Skip Blank Pages

The printer detects the printing data from computer whether a page is empty or not. You can set to print or skip the blank page.

Tray Protection

  • Default: The machine automatically calibrates the toner density of machine for the best possible color print quality. If you select Off, the machine is calibrated by the factory default toner density.

  • Auto Tone Adjustment (Auto Tone Adj.): Allows you to automatically adjust tone for the best possible print quality.

  • Calibrating ID Sensor (Cal. ID Sensor): Automatically calculates the reduced or worn out supplies like toner or machine parts and uses this information to adjust the color density. For example, if the yellow toner is running out, the machine calculates the amount of remaining yellow toner and adjusts color density so the printouts are fine.
