Selecting a paper source

You can specify a paper source manually, or set the printer to select the paper source automatically.

Manual selection

You can use the printer driver to select a paper source manually.

For Windows, access the printer driver, click the Basic Settings tab, and select the paper source that you want to use from the Paper Source list. Then click OK.

For Macintosh, access the printer driver, open the Basic Settings dialog box, and select the paper source that you want to use from the Paper Source list. Then click OK.

Auto selection

If you want the printer to select the paper source containing the appropriate size of paper automatically, select Auto Selection in the printer driver.

The printer will search for a paper source containing the specified paper size in the following order.

Standard configuration:

MP tray

Note:
If you make paper size settings or paper source settings in your application, these settings may override the printer driver settings.

With optional 500-Sheet Paper Cassette Unit installed:

Lower cassette

Note:
  • If you make paper size settings or paper source settings in your application, these settings may override the printer driver settings.
  • If you select an envelope for the Paper Size setting, it can be fed only from the MP tray regardless of the Paper Source setting.
