Paper Feed Mode (Setting the paper feed source)
This mode specifies how the paper should be fed, after the paper feed 
source and paper type has been chosen. If  Auto is selected, the printer 
searches for a paper feed source that matches the paper size and type, 
and paper is delivered from that source. An error message is displayed if 
Fixed  is selected, but a match is not found. The default setting is  Auto. 
To change the settings, follow the steps described below. 
1Press  Z while  Print Settings >  is displayed.
2Press U or  V repeatedly until  >Paper Feed Mode  appears.
3Press [OK]. A blinking question mark ( ?) appears.

When Paper Feed Mode  is set to Fixed, if the paper in the cassette 
runs out during printing,  Load Cassette 1 is displayed and the printer 
stands by. In this event, either replenish the paper in the empty cassette 
or use the procedure below to print from another paper source.
1While  Load Cassette 1  is displayed, press U or  V repeatedly 
until  Use alternative?  appears.
2Press U or  V repeatedly until the desired paper source and size 
appears.

Duplex (Duplex printing)
Using the duplexer, you can automatically print on both sides of the 
paper. The duplexer is mounted underneath the printer.
Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:
PLAIN
PREPRINTED
BOND
RECYCLED
ROUGH
LETTERHEAD
COLOR
PREPUNCHED
HIGH QUALITY
CUSTOM 1  (to 8)
Activating the duplexer is done by  selecting either short edge or long 
edge binding mode.
Binding Modes
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined 
together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types 
of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together 
along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined 
together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must 
also consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge 
or short-edge binding with either  landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer 
provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) 
portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-
edge. The figure below shows these binding methods. 
1Press  Z while  Print Settings >  is displayed.
2Press U or  V repeatedly until  >Duplex appears.
3Press [OK]. A blinking question mark ( ?) appears.
Note Duplex printing can be also performed from the MP tray. If 
the paper to be fed from the MP tray does not match the paper size 
and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a paper 
jam may occur.
