However, if SPECIAL MODE J is set to ON, the printer prints without checking the paper size even when the paper size specified in the printer driver and the size of the paper loaded in the manual feed slot do not match. For more details, see "How to specify the setting for SPECIAL MODE J" in Related Information at the end of this page.
