● Press , then , then Setup > Job management > Paper mismatch action > Print anyway if you want such jobs to print on whatever paper is loaded. This is the default option when printing from a software application or from the Embedded Web Server; but it does not work when printing from a USB flash drive. ● Press , then , then Setup > Job management > Paper mismatch action > Put job on hold if you want such jobs to be put on hold. The printer will send an alert whenever a job is put on hold.

These can be set from the front panel: press , then , then Setup > Printing preferences > Paper options > Roll switching options. ● Minimize paper waste. If this option is chosen, the printer will choose the narrowest roll that meets all the criteria, to avoid wasting paper due to trimming. This is the default option. ● Minimize roll changes.
