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 driver or software application. For more information, see
“Printing by type and size of paper” on page 67

Some items in this menu (such as duplex and manual feed) are accessible from a software application, or from the driver (if
the appropriate driver is installed). Driver and software application settings override control panel settings. For more
information, see
