    To select an item, move the focus to the item using the buttons, and then press the OK button.

    Note:
    • You can also display the paper size and paper type settings screen by selecting Settings > Printer Settings > Paper Source Setting > Paper Setup.

    • For letterhead paper, select Letterhead as the paper type.

    • For letterhead paper, if you print on paper that is smaller than the setting in the printer driver, the printer may print beyond the edges of the paper which can lead to ink smears on your printouts and excess ink building up inside the printer. Make sure you select the correct paper size setting.

    • 2-sided printing and borderless printing are not available for letterhead paper. Also, the print speed may be slower.

  8. Slide out the output tray.
