8 SELECTING THE PAPER This section explains how to configure the Paper Selection setting on the [Paper] tab of the printer driver properties window. Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machines trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button.• When [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Source The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in Paper Size and Paper Type on the [Paper] tab is automatically selected.

Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then select the appropriate Paper Type setting.

(The factory default setting is plain paper only.) When other than [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Type A tray with the specified type of paper and the si ze specified in Paper Size is used for printing. Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other media in the bypass tray, see LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY in the Users Guide. When Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray (disable d by factory default) or Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administr ator), printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the pr inter driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray. System Settings (Adm inistrator): Exclude Bypass-T ray from Auto Paper Select When [Auto Select] is selected in Paper Selection, specify wh ether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the paper that can be automatically select ed. If special types of paper are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.
9 PRINTING WHEN THE USER AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION IS ENABLED When the user authentication function is enabled in the machines system settings (administrator), your user information (login name, password, etc.) must be entered in the setup screen of the printer driver before you can print. The information that must be entered varies depending on the authentication method being used, so check with the administrator of the machine before printing. 1 Open the printer driver properties window from the print window of the software application. (1) Select the printer driver of the machine. (2) Click the [Preferences] button. The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Properties] or [Printing Preferences]) may vary depending on the software application. (1)(2)

When printing by invalid users is prohibited in the system settings (administrator), printing is not permitted when user information is not entered or incorrect information is entered. The user authentication function of the machine cannot be used when the PPD file* is installed and the Windows standard PS printer driver is used. For this reason, printing will not be possible if printing by invalid users is prohibited in the system settings (administrator). * The PPD file enables the machine to print using the standard PS printer driver of the operating system. System Settings (Administrator): Disable Printing by Invalid User This is used to prohibit printing of print jobs by users whose user information is not stored in the machine. When this function is enabled, printing is not allowed when user information is not entered or incorrect information is entered. (3) (1) (2)

Pages with colors other than black and white are printed using Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are printed using Bk (Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a document that has both color and black and white pages, however, the printing speed is slower. Color: All pages are printed in color.
