This section explains how to change mode for the MP (multi-purpose) tray, the paper size and type for each paper source, mode for the option sorter, and how to select the paper source and paper destinations.

3.10.1 MP Tray Mode

The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — first or cassette. The MP tray feed paper differently depending on the mode:

•First Mode

The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper source that is selected on the printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have been used up (approximately 150 sheets), paper will be fed from the paper source originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.

•Cassette Mode

This is the default mode. The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper source. The printer can correctly feed paper from any paper source as you command on the printer driver. The cassette mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.

To switch the MP tray to Cassette mode, proceed as follows:
