Setting the Media Position Detection When changing to paper of a different type or shape, you will need to set the media position detection. When there is no change in the media position detection setting, this setting is not necessary. If the printer setting and the paper type do not match, printing is not possible and a paper error will occur. Set the settings based on the table below.
