Considerations

• Windows / MacOS >> Set the Printing Preferences - Shortcut and options to the current job
• Mobile - Set the paper size and type (in EWS), then open the item to be printed.

Notes

• If the paper size is supported, check the paper type (media) for a paper that will work with that paper size.
• Paper type not listed?  Look for type "thick", "Brochure", "Professional", or possibly "Other matte"
• Not all paper is compatible with duplex printing
• "Photo Paper" cannot be selected as a means to trick the printer into accepting heavier paper.
