If you select [Auto Tray Select] in the [Input Tray] list, the source tray is automatically selected according to the paper size and type specified.

Note

  • The types of paper loaded in the paper trays are indicated on the printer's display. This allows you to see which tray the selected paper type is loaded in. However, the paper type setting available in the printing preference dialog box might be different from the type indicated on the printer's display.

  • If the paper tray loaded with the specified paper size and type is not available, a warning message appears on the machine's control panel. If this happens, follow the instructions in the message to specify a paper tray and perform force printing. Alternatively, press the job reset button to cancel printing. For details, see "If Error Occurs with the specified Paper Size and Type".
