Automatic Tray Selection
If you display the properties dialog box of the printer driver and
select a paper type for [Specify Paper Type] and [Auto] for [Paper
Source] on the [Tray/Output] tab for printing, this printer will be
able to automatically detect paper trays loaded with the selected
paper type and then among them, select the tray that matches the
size and orientation of the document to be printed. This feature is
known as automatic tray selection.
If there are multiple trays that match those criteria for automatic
tray selection, a tray is selected based on the lowest tray number.
For example, if tray 1 and tray 2 match the criteria, tray 1 will be
selected.
Note
• If there are no paper trays that match the automatic
tray selection, an error message prompting for
replenishment of paper will be displayed. You can
configure the printer not to display this message but to
automatically select a nearest or larger paper size of the
document for printing. (Substitute Tray)
• If paper runs out during printing, a paper tray containing
paper of the same size and orientation of the paper used
for printing will be selected to continue printing
(automatic tray switching).
• If there are no paper trays that match the paper types
that are set for [Specify Paper Type], a message
prompting to confirm printing on another paper type will
be displayed. Press the <FEED/SELECT> button to print
on paper of another type or press <CANCEL> to cancel
the job.
