Paper Feed Mode (Setting the paper feed source)
This mode specifies how the paper should be fed once the paper feed 
source and paper type have been chosen. If Auto is selected, the printer 
searches for a paper feed source that matches the paper size and type, 
and paper is then delivered from that source. If Fixed is selected and 
there is no matching paper feed source, handling proceeds as specified 
by Paper Mismatch for Error Handling. For details on paper 
feeding when Fixed is selected, refer to Paper Mismatch (Detection 
settings for paper size/type errors when the paper source is fixed) on 
page 4-80. The default setting is Auto. To change the settings, follow the 
steps described below.
1In the Print Settings menu, press U or V to select Paper Feed 
Mode.
2Press [OK]. The Paper Feed Mode screen  appears showing the 
available paper feed options.
3Press U or V to select the desired paper feed mode.
4Press [OK]. The paper feed mode is set and the Print Settings menu 
reappears.
When the Paper Runs Out During Printing
When Paper Feed Mode is set to Fixed, if the paper in the cassette runs 
out during printing, Add paper in 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 Add paper in cassette 1. is displayed, press [Alt.] 
([Left Select]). The Alternative menu screen appears.
2Press U or V to select the desired paper feed source and paper size.
Each time you press U or V, another optional cassette or the paper 
size that can currently be fed from the MP tray appears.
3Press [OK]. Printing continues.

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: Bind Long Edge, in which pages are joined together along 
their long edge; and Bind Short Edge, 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 Bind Long Edge or Bind 
Short Edge 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, Bind Long Edge, 
(2) portrait, Bind Short Edge, (3) landscape, Bind Long Edge, and (4) 
landscape, Bind Short Edge. The figure below shows these binding 
methods. 
1In the Print Settings menu, press U or V to select Duplex.
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.
