Setting media type and size Whenever you load an input tray, make sure that you set the type and size for the media in that tray (see "Configure the input trays" on page 39).

Make sure to set the media type and size at the printer's control panel and in the printer driver. (For information about using the printer driver, see "Using the printer driver" on page 119.)
