    2.If the base plate of the paper tray 
    is raised, push it down.

    size, slide the left and right lock 
    tabs in the paper tray outwards to 
    unlock them. 
    4.Hold the grip of the paper tray and 
    pull its extendable part to the front 
    until it reaches its maximum.

    Important:
    •Do not place paper over the right width guide. 
    •Do not load paper exceeding the maximum fill line or the 
    maximum capacity allowed. 
    •Align the right width guide with the paper width correctly. If 
    the right width guide is not in place, the paper will not be 
    properly fed and this may cause paper jams. 
    7.Close the lid of the paper tray and push the tray completely 
    into the printer. 
    Important:
    •The lid of the tray must be firmly closed. If not, the paper 
    might become misaligned. 
    8.Depending on the types and sizes of the loaded paper, you 
    need to configure settings on the control panel. Change the 
    paper type when non-plain paper such as recycled paper, 
    heavyweight paper or transparencies are loaded. Configure 
    the paper size when custom size paper is loaded. 
    Refer to:
    •Paper type and size that can be loaded: “Usable Paper” on 
    page 36
    •Setting paper size: “Setting Custom Paper Sizes” on page 43
    •Setting paper type: “Setting Paper Types” on page 44
    Automatic Tray Selection
    If you display the properties dialog box of the printer driver and 
    select a paper type for [Specify Paper Type] and [Auto] for [Paper 
    Source] on the [Tray/Output] tab for printing, this printer will be 
    able to automatically detect paper trays loaded with the selected 
    paper type and then among them, select the tray that matches the 
    size and orientation of the document to be printed. This feature is 
    known as automatic tray selection.
    If there are multiple trays that match those criteria for automatic 
    tray selection, a tray is selected based on the lowest tray number. 
    For example, if tray 1 and tray 2 match the criteria, tray 1 will be 
    selected.

    NOTE
    > If there are no paper trays that match the automatic tray 
    selection, an error message prompting for replenishment 
    of paper will be displayed. You can configure the printer 
    not to display this message but to automatically select a 
    nearest or larger paper size of the document for printing. 
    (Substitute Tray)
    >If paper runs out during printing, a paper tray containing 
    paper of the same size and orientation of the paper used 
    for printing will be selected to continue printing 
    (automatic tray switching). 
    >If there are no paper trays that match the paper types 
    that are set for [Specify Paper Type], a message 
    prompting to confirm printing on another paper type will 
    be displayed. Press the  button to print 
    on paper of another type or press  to cancel 
    the job. 
    Refer to:
    •Specify Paper Type: Online Help for the printer driver
    Setting Custom Paper Sizes
    To print on custom size paper loaded in trays 1 to 4, you must set 
    the paper size on the control panel.
    You may also need to set it on the printer driver, depending on the 
    paper size.
    This section explains how to set the size on the control panel. 
    Important:
    •When setting the paper size on the printer driver and control 
    panel, be sure to specify the same size as the actual paper 
    used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause machine 
    failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size 
    when using a narrow width paper. 
    NOTE
    >To return to standard paper size settings, select [Auto] in 
    step  below. This printer will automatically detect the size 
    and orientation of the loaded paper.

    Setting Paper Types
    Settings on the control panel are required for the types of paper 
    loaded in trays 1 to 4. For accurate image quality processing, refer 
    to the following table and set the paper types on the control panel. 
    Important:
    •Paper type settings must match those of the actual paper 
    loaded in the trays. Otherwise, image quality cannot be 
    processed accurately. Toner may not fuse properly on the 
    paper, resulting in dirty and poor quality printouts. 
    •Changes in paper type settings on the printer driver are not 
    reflected in this printer.
