Configure the printer’s setup to the
paper size used most. The PQ-8 only
recognizes these paper sizes:
• Letter Paper: 8.5 x 11 in. (215.9
x 279.4 mm)
• A4 Paper: 8.27 x 11.69 in. (210
x 297 mm)
• Legal Paper: 8.5 x 14 in. (215.9
x 355.6 mm)
• Executive Paper: 7.25 x 10.5 in.
(184.2 x 266.7 mm)
• 11" x 17" Paper: 11 x 17 in
(279.4 x 431.8 mm)
• A3 Paper: 1.69 x 16.54 in (297 x
420 mm)
If the PQ-8’s paper-size menu is set
to the default “Host selected,” it will
look for one of the paper sizes
mentioned above. If the host sends
one of these paper sizes, the PQ-8
will instruct the printer to load that
paper. Otherwise, it will instruct the
printer to load the previously used
paper size; or, if the host print job is
the first after power-on, it will
request letter-size paper.
With the “A4 only” selection active,
the PQ-8 will always instruct the
printer to load A4-size paper. If the
“Printer selected” option is chosen,
the PQ-8 will not send any paper
requests, and the paper size selected
through the printer’s front panel
will be used.
