Paper Sources to Load Paper
The machine has two paper sources to feed paper; Cassette and Rear Tray.
You can load paper in either one of the paper sources, depending on the page size and media type of
paper. Paper is fed from the Cassette or Rear Tray depending on the selection of the page size or media
type.
See
Media Types You Can Use .
Note
When printing, select the correct page size and media type. If you select the wrong page size or
media type, the machine may feed paper from the wrong paper source or may not print with the
proper print quality.
For details on how to load paper in each paper source, see Loading Paper in the Cassette or
Loading Paper in the Rear Tray
.
If Auto feed switch is set to ON for FAX paper settings of the FAX menu screen, the machine will
switch the paper source automatically when papers run out in the paper source for plain paper and
print received faxes.
Loading Plain Paper in the Cassette
When you use A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper, load it in the Cassette.
The machine feeds paper from the Cassette automatically by selecting plain paper (A4, B5, A5, or
Letter size) in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver when printing.
For details on how to change the paper source setting, refer to the on-screen manual:

Loading Photo Paper in the Rear Tray
When you use photo paper, load it in the Rear Tray.
The machine feeds paper from the Rear Tray automatically by selecting the media types other than
plain paper, such as photo paper, in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver
when printing.
When you use plain paper other than A4, B5, A5, or Letter size, also load it in the Rear Tray.
