22-3 Using the Standard and Optional Paper Trays This allows your software to verify that the print option settings for a project are correct for the substrate you're using. If the print option settings for a job don't match the lever settings, you'll get an error message, and your job will not print. This will save you both time and money by making sure you don't accidently print with the wrong settings. NOTE: You can disable verification by setting the levers to Other. However, the purpose of paper size and media type (print mode) verification is to help you avoid printing errors, and you should take advantage of this help whenever possible. Setting the Paper Tray Levers For best printing results, you need to set the media type and paper size levers correctly when you load paper. You should also use the media type and paper size cards to identify the substrate loaded in each tray. This helps all users to be aware of what's in the printer at a glance, and also prevents anyone from inadvertently changing the lever positions.
