What Is [Paper Measuring]?
Overview
If printing paper is not set properly, it may cause a finishing error.
[Paper Measuring] measures target paper using Media Sensor even if the type or weight of the paper loaded in a paper tray is not known, thereby, enabling you to easily configure the appropriate paper setting.
NOTICE
- The optional Intelligent Media Sensor IM-101 is required to use this function.
[Paper Measuring] Order
The paper measurement order is as follows.
1. Select the paper tray to load in the [Paper Measuring] screen.
2. Insert the paper to be loaded in the paper tray into Intelligent Media Sensor IM-101 and measure it.
3. Apply the measurement result or the target paper profile to the paper tray.

Tips
- The measurement result can be applied to an unused paper tray even while a job is running.
- A measurement result or paper profile that does not fit the selected paper tray is not able to be selected.
Tips
- If there is a large difference between the weight value indicated on the paper (especially thin paper) packing box and the detection result, select the appropriate one from the paper profile without applying the measurement result to [Paper Setting].

The following types of paper are judged by Intelligent Media Sensor IM-101. For example, if colored paper is measured, it is judged to be fine paper.
