● 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. When a job is put on hold for paper, it is kept in the printer queue until some suitable paper is loaded, after which you can visit the queue and choose to resume printing it. Meanwhile, other jobs with different requirements can continue printing. Roll switching options If two rolls are loaded, both of which are suitable for the job, the roll will be chosen according to your preferences. 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. If this option is chosen, the printer will choose the roll that is currently active, to avoid wasting time with a roll switch. ● Use roll with less paper. If this option is chosen, the printer will choose the roll that has the least paper. NOTE: This option is effective only if you have enabled Printing paper info (see Printing paper info on page 64).
