Switching the Paper Source to Match the Purpose 
Switching the Paper Source to Match the Purpose 
In this machine, there are two paper sources, a rear tray and a cassette.
You can facilitate printing by selecting a paper source setting that matches your print conditions or
purpose. 
The procedure for setting paper source is as follows: 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Select the paper source 
From the Paper Source list on the Main tab, select the paper source that matches your purpose. 
Automatically Select 
Plain paper whose Page Size is Letter 8.5x11, A5, A4, or B5 is fed from the cassette. Other sizes of
plain paper and paper types other than plain paper are fed from the rear tray. 
Rear Tray 
Paper is always fed from the rear tray. 
Cassette 
Paper is always fed from the cassette. 
Important 
Plain paper that is not Letter 8.5x11, A5, A4, or B5 and paper types other than plain paper
cannot be fed from the cassette. 
Continuous Autofeed 
If plain paper runs out in the specified paper source, the printer automatically switches the paper
source. 
When printing a large volume of data, load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources. You
can therefore reduce the trouble of having to load paper because the printer automatically switches
the paper source when paper runs out in one paper source. 
Important 
Continuous Autofeed is unavailable when paper other than Plain Paper is selected for Media
Type. 
Since the printer feeds paper from the paper source that was being used the last time
Continuous Autofeed was selected and printing ended, load the same paper in both the rear
tray and the cassette.

							Paper Allocation 
If the media type for the print data is plain paper and the paper size matches the paper allocation
setting, the printer automatically feeds paper from the cassette. If not, the printer feeds paper from
the rear tray. 
To change the paper allocation settings, click Paper Allocation..., specify the Paper Size to be loaded
in the cassette, and then click OK. 
If you load frequently used plain paper in the cassette, the printer feeds paper from the rear tray
when the print data uses a different type of paper. You can therefore reduce the trouble of having t
o
load different paper. 
3.Complete the setup 
Click OK.
When you execute print, the printer uses the specified paper source to print the data.
