You can select the printer's paper source through the printer driver. Follow either instruction below according to your computer.

Click the Basic Settings tab, and select the paper source that you want to use from the Paper Source drop-down list. Then click OK.

Open the Basic Settings dialog box from any application, and select the paper source that you want to use from the Paper Source drop-down list.

If you select Auto Selection in the printer driver, the paper source that contains paper matching the page size setting will be used.

The printer will search for a paper source containing the selected-size paper in the following order:
