[Detect Paper Size in 
Multi-purpose Tray]If the check box for this option is selected, a message 
is displayed, and the job is paused when the setting 
for [Output Size] in the [Page Setup] sheet is different 
from that for the previous job.
When printing on paper of the size specified in 
[Output Size], load the appropriate paper in the 
multi-purpose tray. When printing on the currently 
loaded paper, click the [Resolve Error] button.
However, the following jobs use the currently loaded 
paper without displaying a message regardless of the 
setting for [Output Size].
-A job that takes place immediately after turning the 
power ON/OFF
-A job that takes place immediately after resuming 
from the sleep mode
-A job that takes place immediately after reloading 
paper
If this check box is cleared, the job uses the currently 
loaded paper without displaying a message even if 
the settings for the paper size are different from each 
other. (However, printing speed may drop.)
[Rotate Print Data 180 Degrees]

Using Sub-output Tray]Paper is output to the sub-output tray with the printed 
side facing up. Therefore, when printing from the first 
page, the paper is stacked with the page order 
reversed. If the check box for this option is selected, 
you can output paper with the pages collated in the 
right order because the printer prints from the last 
page.
[Advanced Settings]Allows you to specify the settings in the [Advanced 
Settings] dialog box when you want to print jagged 
lines of text and graphics smoothly, specify whether to 
print the last page in the 1-sided mode on 2-sided
