Setting up automatic paper selection (OP)

This procedure applies only to devices of type "Windows Printer".

  • Find out which paper sizes are supported by the Windows printer.
  • Link these paper sizes to paper types.
  • Link these paper types to the Windows printer.
Шаг 1. Find out which paper sizes are supported by the Windows printer.

Paper types are supported either by hardware (different trays) or by software.

You can find the supported paper sizes for a printer in the printer's manual, or via the BWPrint preview feature.

To find the supported paper types via the BWPrint preview feature:

  1. Start a print session, for example Печать компаний (ttaad1400m000).
  2. Specify the selection ranges, and click Print. The Выбор устройства (ttstpsplopen ) session starts.
  3. Select the Windows printer and select Preview. Click Продолжить.
  4. Right-click in the preview window and on the shortcut menu, select Paper size > Change device specific paper size. The Page Setup dialog box is displayed.
  5. You can view the supported paper sizes in the Size list.
Шаг 2. Link paper sizes to paper types

Link each supported paper size you want to use to a paper type.

To link a paper size to a paper type:

  1. Start the Типы бумаги (ttaad3110m000) session.
  2. Link the paper size to an existing paper type, or create a new paper type and link the paper size to it. In the Размер бумаги field, you can zoom to the Размер бумаги Windows (ttaad3512m000) session.

Note: the orientation is also important. Many printers have a software option to “Rotate” printing, but there are also printers that have a separate tray for “rotated paper”.

Шаг 3. Link paper types to printer

Link the desired paper types to the Windows printer:

  1. Start the Данные устройства (ttaad3500m000) session and double click the Windows printer. The Данные устройства (ttaad3100s000) details session starts.
  2. Specify the printer's default paper type in the Тип бумаги field.
  3. Link the additional paper types to the printer: On the соответствующий menu, select Papertype by Device. The Тип бумаги по устройству (ttaad3107m000) session starts. Specify the required paper types.
