1.4.2.3 Setting Item Description
This section provides the information on the product-specific setting item. MP Tray Size "Auto" is added and the North American version automatically detects LT, HLT, LGL, EXE, GLG, GLT, and B paper sizes, while the versions for areas other than North America detect the A3, A4, A5, IB5, LTR, LGL, and F4 paper sizes. When "Auto" is selected, the following conditions should be considered:

If the edge guide is set to any position other than automatic selectable paper sizes, the paper size loaded is detected A3. The automatically selected paper size is shown in Status Sheet and EJL status.
MP Type Selects the paper type for the MP Tray. If "Paper Source" is set to "Auto", the printer automatically selects the paper source that matches the selected paper type from the paper sources that currently store the selected paper size. The MP Type selected during paper source selection is only specified with the EJL command. In printer modes that have no specification command, operations are the same as when "Plain" is set for "MP Type". The EPL-N2700 has the setting item "Paper Type", if the "Paper Type" is set to "Normal" and "MP Tray" is set to "Transprnc" or Letterhead", the MP Type is also set to the engine side.
