SELECTING THE PAPER

This section explains how to configure the "Paper Selection" setting on the [Paper] tab of the printer driver properties window.

Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button.

When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"

The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] tab is automatically selected.

When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"

The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.

When [Bypass Tray] is selected

Also select the "Paper Type". Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.

• Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" in the User's Guide.

When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray.

When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"

A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.)

When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"

A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing.

System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select

When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Selection", specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the paper that can be automatically selected. If special types of paper are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.
