PAPER TRAY SETTINGS

Paper Tray Settings

These settings specify the automatic tray switching function, and the paper type and size for each paper tray.

Auto Tray Switching

When a tray runs out of paper during printing, this determines whether or not another tray with the same size and type of paper is automatically selected and printing continues.

Settings of each tray

These settings specify the paper type, paper size, and functions allowed for each paper tray.
When a tray name is tapped, the tray registration screen appears.

Type Select a type of paper to be loaded into the tray.
The paper types that can be selected vary by paper tray. For more information, see "Tray Settings".

Custom Size Registration (Bypass)

If you frequently use a non-standard size paper in the bypass tray, register that paper size in advance.
Registering the paper size saves you the trouble of setting the size each time you need to use it.
Up to three paper sizes can be registered.
Tap the key ([Custom 1] to [Custom 7]) in which you wish to register or change a paper size, and the registration screen appears.
Select whether you wish to enter the size in mm ("Size Input-AB") or inches ("Size Input-Inch"), and then set the X and Y dimensions of the paper.
