SELECTING THE PAPER
This section explains the [Paper Feed] settings in the print settings window.
When [Auto Select] is selected
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper (the factory default setting is plain paper only) of the size specified in Paper 
Size in the page settings window is automatically selected.
When a paper tray is selected
The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the Paper Size setting in the page settings window.
For the bypass tray, a paper type can also be specified. Make sure that the paper type setting for the bypass tray is 
correct and that the set type of paper is actually loaded in the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate bypass tray 
(paper type).
When a paper type is selected
A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in Paper Size in the page settings window 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 (page 1-33) in 1. BEFORE USING THE 
MACHINE.
 When Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray (disabled by factory default) or Enable Selected Paper Type in 
Bypass Tray (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), printing will not take place if the 
paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings 
of the bypass tray.
System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select
When [Auto Select] is used for printing, this setting determines whether 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 selected. If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended 
that this setting be enabled.
