Paper tray and paper type settings are explained in this section.
These settings specify the paper type, paper size, and functions allowed for each paper tray.
When the [Tray Settings] key is tapped, a list appears showing the trays and the current settings.
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
When the [Change] key is tapped, the corresponding setting screen appears.
The following settings can be configured.
Item Description
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".
To user type setup, see "PAPER TYPE REGISTRATION".
Size Select the paper size from the list. The paper sizes that can be selected vary by tray. The sizes that can be selected may also be restricted by the paper type selected above. For more information, see "Tray Settings".
If the desired size does not appear in the list, select [Custom Size] and directly enter the size (only for the bypass tray). For more information, see "Tray Settings".
Feeding Approved Job Select the modes that can be used. If there is a function that you do not wish to be used with the selected tray, disable the function.
When the "Type" is other than plain paper, recycled paper, colored paper, or a user type, [Fax] and [Internet Fax] cannot be selected.
  • If the paper size specified here is different from the size of paper that is loaded into a tray, a problem or misfeed may occur when printing.
    To change the paper size in a tray, see "BEFORE USING THE MACHINE".
  • Paper properties such as "Fixed Paper Side" are automatically set when the paper type is selected. The paper tray properties cannot be changed in this screen.
  • If [System Settings] in "Setting mode" → [Device Control] → [Disabling of Tray Settings] is selected, the tray settings (except for the bypass tray) cannot be configured.

Select one of two sizes when "Auto-Inch" is set. Select one of three sizes when "Auto-AB" is set.
When paper that is the same size as one of the paper sizes in the settings is placed in the bypass tray, the size that is selected in the settings will be automatically detected.
