This section explains how to change mode for the MP
3.10.1MP Tray Mode
The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassette or First. The MP tray feeds paper differently depending on the mode:
•Cassette Mode (default)
The MP tray acts in the same manner as the paper feed cassette. The printer can feed paper the MP tray in the similar manner as you would do on the printer driver to feed paper from the paper feed cassette. The cassette mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.
To use the MP tray in cassette mode, select the paper size of the MP tray. Refer to 3.10.2 Setting MP Tray Paper Size on page
•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, 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.
To switch the MP tray mode, for example, to First mode, proceed as follows:
1 | Press the MENU key. |
2 | Press the U or V key repeatedly until Paper |

3.10.2 Setting MP Tray Paper Size
When you use the MP tray in cassette mode, you should set the MP tray size to the paper size that is used to format the job to print. If the sizes do not match, printing will be done on the wrong size paper. The default setting is Letter size for the U.S. and Canada and A4 for other countries.
For more information about the paper sizes that you can feed from the MP tray, see Chapter 2 Handling Paper.
