    This menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as Page Size and Orientation, 
    when printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer

    custom size is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray.If 
    you select Thick, ExtraThk, or Transparency as the Paper Type setting, paper always 
    feeds from the MP tray.
    MP Mode
    This setting determines whether the MP tray has the higher or lower priority when Auto is 
    selected as the Paper Source setting in the printer driver. When Normal is selected, the MP
