2.
Select the paper source  
From the Paper Source list on the Main tab, select  the paper source that matches your purpose. 
Automatically Select  
Plain paper whose Page Size is Letter 8.5x11, A5,  A4, or B5 is fed from the cassette. Other sizes of
plain paper and paper types other than plain paper  are fed from the rear tray. 
Rear Tray 
Paper is always fed from the rear tray.  
Cassette  
Paper is always fed from the cassette. 
Important 
Plain paper that is not Letter 8.5x11, A5, A4, or  B5 and paper types other than plain paper
cannot be fed from the cassette. 
Continuous Autofeed  
W hen plain paper runs out in the specified paper so urce, the printer automatically switches the
