imagePROGRAF PRO-300 Issue? User error? Selected paper type changing upon print command

HI Guys,
 
When printing from the Canon PPL software I've noticed that the printer LCD display will change the paper type selected paper in PPL, as well as, the initial selection LCD user selection .  This happens just after clicking the Print button on PPL.  Typically, the LCD changes from the user selection to Letter Pro Platinum, regardless of the previous selections made just prior to initiating the print.
 
As as example:  I select Baryta Photo Paper (General settings via PPL).  I load a sheet of baryta paper into the manual (rear) feed tray.  I then select Baryta Photo Paper via the printer LCD screen.  I click the Print button in PPL.  The printer job dialogue box posts.  But then the printer LCD switches my selection from Baryta to Pro Platinum.  
 
Is this normal?  Is there a glitch in PPL?  (my software version is 1.3.6).  The printer driver is 24.20.0.0 (via a Macbook M1 machine).  Is there a glitch with the driver?
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks Much,
G
