automatic paper-type sensor
The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor automatically determines the correct paper
type for most paper or media placed in the printer’s In tray. This feature,
particularly when used with HP paper and media, assists in obtaining the
best printing results. The feature can be used with both HP and non-HP
media; however, it is optimized for HP media. Because Automatic is the
default printer setting, the printer is able to quickly select the appropriate
paper type.
This feature is not recommended for printed or lined paper and media.
