AUTO SENSE MODE EXPANDED SENSING
TRANSPARENCY ONLY
If a tray is configured to PLAIN or ANY SIZE, and the print job does not specify the media type, the printer will adjust the print quality for the type of print media it senses. The default is EXPANDED SENSING, which senses transparencies, glossy paper, and tough paper.
INK TRANSPARENCY REJECT-GUARD FUSER
ACCEPT-NOT ADVISED
REJECT-GUARD FUSER stops the print job when a non-compatible transparency is detected. This option protects the printer fuser from damage.

The default value is REJECT-GUARD FUSER.
