Click [Properties...].
The printing preferences properties dialog box appears.
In the [Original Size:] list, select the paper size of the document you want to print.
In the [Original orientation:] area, select [Portrait] or [Landscape] as the orientation of the original.
In the [Paper source tray:] list, select the paper tray that contains the paper you want to print onto.
Select the type and color of the paper loaded in the paper tray by selecting the appropriate item in each list.
If you select [Auto Tray Select] in the [Paper source tray:] list, the source tray is automatically selected according to the paper size, type and color specified.

To select a custom paper size in step 4, click the [Custom Paper Size...] button, and then specify the paper size settings. For details about other settings, see the printer driver Help.
If you have specified a source tray and selected PostScript as the page description language in the printer driver, paper will be fed in from the specified source tray and printed on. This will happen even if the paper size specified in the driver does not match the size of the paper loaded in the source tray. Similarly, the paper type and color settings specified in the driver will also be ignored. For details, see "Alt. Paper Size with Reduced Print Image" for "PS / PDF Menu".
If there is no tray matching the specified paper size, type, or color, or if the paper loaded in the printer has run out, a warning message might appear on the control panel. If it does, load paper matching the specified print settings into a tray, or press [Job Reset] to cancel printing. For details, see "If Paper Size, Type, and Color Errors Occur".
If you have specified a source tray and selected PostScript as the page description language in the printer driver, the paper loaded in the specified source tray will be printed on. This will happen even if the paper size specified in the driver does not match the size of the paper loaded in the source tray. Similarly, any paper type and color settings specified in the driver will also be ignored.
