1.5. MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Feeding
The MP tray is incorporated on the front of the printer. It can be used in one of two modes: first mode or cas-
sette mode. The MP tray can hold about 100 sheets of paper (A4 size, 0.1 mm thickness).
If you set a full number of sheets for sizes bigger than A4, it could cause a paper jam. In this case, set a lower
number of sheets than the full amount, confirm that there will be no paper jams and then commence print-
ing.
First Mode (Automatic Manual Feeding)
The printer automatically feeds any paper placed on the MP tray even if another paper source is selected.
After all paper in the MP tray is printed, paper will be fed from the paper source originally set. (This is the
factory set default.)
Cassette Mode
The cassette mode provides faster printing speed than the first mode. Approximately 100 sheets of paper
can be continuously fed in this mode.
Duplex Printing from the MP tray
In first mode, be sure to set the MP tray to the same paper size and paper type as set for the current cassette.
If the paper size or type differs, a paper jam may result. Also note that it is not possible to select the MP tray
as the current cassette and perform duplex printing. We therefore recommend that duplex printing be per-
formed from the paper cassette. An optional duplexer (AD-34) is required to perform duplex printing.
Selecting the MP Tray
