SELECTING THE TRAY

Auto paper select mode (p.17) normally operates (unless it has been disabled), and thus when the original is placed on the document glass and the original size is selected, or when the original is placed in the RSPF, the tray with the same size of paper as the original is automatically selected. If you wish to use a tray other than the automatically selected tray (for example you wish to enlarge or reduce the copy or use the bypass tray), press the [PAPER SELECT] key ( ) to select the desired tray.

• If the desired PAPER SIZE indicator does not light up, change the paper in the tray to the desired paper size. Note (p.12)

•Automatic ratio selection (p.19) does not operate when the bypass tray or a tray set for a special paper size is selected.

Auto tray switching (when there are two or more paper trays)

If the tray runs out of paper during copying and there is another tray with the same size of paper and the same feeding orientation (horizontal or vertical), the other tray is automatically selected and copying continues. "Auto tray switching" can be disabled in the system settings (p.70).
