Basic Printing 4 Using the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette You can load paper in both the sheet feeder and cassette. Loading paper in the sheet feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper. Loading paper in the cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is convenient for loading a large volume of the type of paper you regularly print onto. Loading paper in both the sheet feeder and cassette makes, the following paper feed methods available: Changing the paper source to feed different types/sizes of paper If you load plain paper in the cassette and photo paper in the sheet feeder, changing the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper. To change the paper source, use the paper feed switch on the printer or printer driver. You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the cassette for regular use with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the cassette whenever you print. Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the sheet feeder and cassette together If the sheet feeder or cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand. Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer You can use just the sheet feeder or cassette according to the location of the printer. For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf with minimal space, you can use just the cassette for printing.NoteFor information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the Paper Source” in the User’s Guide. NoteFor information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the Paper Source” in the User’s Guide. NoteDepending on the size of paper you use or during printer maintenance, you may have to use the sheet feeder. When using only the cassette, check that the printer can perform the operations you require.
