Paper Handling Menu

When paper handling settings are correctly configured through the
control panel, you can print by choosing the type and size of paper
from the printer driver or software application. For more information,
see page 43.

Some items in this menu can be accessed from a software
application, or from the printer driver (if the appropriate driver is
installed). Printer driver and software application settings override
control panel settings. For more information, see page 39.
