Stop the paper size mismatch message

The printer compares what you loaded with what the job asks for and stops when they differ.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • “Paper size does not match” at every job
  • Printer pauses until you press OK

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Look at the printer screen: it tells you the loaded size and the requested size.

  2. 2

    Load the size the job actually needs, or change the job's paper size on the computer.

  3. 3

    Register the loaded paper on the printer when it asks — this is what the check compares against.

  4. 4

    In the printer's settings, set the cassette and rear tray paper sizes to what you normally use.

  5. 5

    If you always print the same size, turn the mismatch check off in the printer's feed settings.

Pro tip

A4 and Letter are close but not identical — a printer set to one will query the other every time.
