Select Letter / A4 if you want the printer to automatically print A4 jobs on letter size paper and

 

 

letter jobs on A4 size paper, if the requested size is not currently installed in the printer.

 

 

Likewise, select 11x17 / A3 if you want the printer to automatically print 11x17 jobs on A3 size

 

 

paper and A3 jobs on 11x17 size paper, if the requested size is not available.

 

 

Select All Listed if you want to substitute paper sizes in both cases.

 

 

If the printer substitutes a paper size other than the one requested for the job, the printer may

 

 

have to clip the image to fit on the new page size. Some data may be lost.

 

 

If you do not want the printer to substitute paper sizes automatically, select Off. The printer

 

 

then prompts you to load the requested paper size, if it is not installed.

 

 

 

Configure MP

 

Cassette*

 

 

Manual

 

 

First

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the multipurpose feeder (MP) is configured as a Cassette, the printer treats it like any

 

 

other tray. If a print job requests a size paper that is only loaded in the multipurpose feeder,

 

 

the printer picks paper from the multipurpose feeder to print the job.

 

 

Set Configure MP to Manual to use the multipurpose feeder strictly for manual feed of single

 

 

sheets or envelopes.

 

 

If you set Configure MP to First, the printer feeds paper from the multipurpose feeder until it is

 

 

empty, regardless of the paper source or paper size requested for the job. When the multi-

 

 

purpose feeder is empty, the printer then feeds paper from the source containing the

 

 

requested size.

 

 

 

Size Detection

 

A3 & B4* (Country specific)

 

 

11x17 & Legal* (Country specific)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The printer determines the size paper loaded in the trays by the position of the rear paper

 

 

guide. However, the printer can only recognize A3 and B4 size paper or 11x17 and legal size

 

 

paper. You must decide which of the pairs of paper sizes you want your trays to support. (You

 

 

can still load the paper sizes you don’t select in the multipurpose feeder.) For example, if you

 

 

select A3 & B4 and send a job formatted for legal size paper, the printer displays a message

 

 

asking you to load legal size paper in the multipurpose feeder.

 

 

Note: Changing the Size Detection setting automatically resets the printer.
