2.2.12 Paper Handling

You can change the MP tray mode, the paper size and type for each paper source, the sorter mode, the paper source, and paper destinations.

MP Tray Mode

The MP tray can be used in one of two modes: cassette mode or first mode. The MP tray can hold approximately 200 sheets of paper (A4 size, 0.11 mm thickness).

Cassette Mode

The cassette mode provides faster printing speed than the first mode. Approximately 200 sheets of paper can be continuously fed in this mode. (This is the factory setting.)

First Mode (Automatic Manual Feeding)

The printer automatically feeds any paper placed on the MP tray even if another paper source is selected. After all paper in the MP tray is printed, paper will be fed from the paper source originally selected.

Setting the MP Tray Size

When using the MP tray in the cassette mode, you should set the MP tray size to the paper size that is used to format the job to print. If they do not match, printing will not be made on the correct size paper when automatic paper size selection is made by the application (printer driver). The factory setting is A4 or Letter size.

For more details about the paper sizes that can be fed from the MP tray, see Chapter 2 Handling Paper.
