43. Method to Auto Select Paper Tray

Specify whether or not to automatically select the paper tray loaded with the paper of the size determined by the setting in "47. Method to Determine Original Size".

Off
Paper tray is not selected automatically.
Auto 1: Long Edge
The paper size is automatically determined based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Original Size" and the paper tray is selected according to the long-edge length of the data.
Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge
The paper size is automatically determined based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Original Size" and the paper tray is selected according to both the long-edge and short-edge lengths of the data.
For RP-GL/2, the data can be rotated to fit on the paper as required when printing.
Select "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge" also for automatic selection of a paper tray when "100%" is not set in "20. Reproduction Ratio".
Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size
Select a paper size you want to use for printing from the following settings:
- A0 / Full Size, A1 / Full Size, A2 / Full Size, A3 / Full Size, A4 / Full Size, B1 JIS / Full Size, B2 JIS / Full Size, B3 JIS / Full Size, B4 JIS / Full Size, 36 x 48 / Full Size, 34 x 44 / Full Size, 30 x 42 / Full Size, 24 x 36 / Full Size, 22 x 34 / Full Size, 21 x 30 / Full Size, 18 x 24 / Full Size, 17 x 22 / Full Size, 12 x 18 / Full Size, DL / Full Size, 9 x 12 / Full Size, LG / Full Size, 8¹/₂ x 13 / Full Size, LT / Full Size, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, B1 JIS, B2 JIS, B3 JIS, B4 JIS, 36 x 48, 34 x 44, 30 x 42, 24 x 36, 22 x 34, 21 x 30, 18 x 24, 17 x 22, 12 x 18, DL, 9 x 12, LG, 8¹/₂ x 13, LT
The scaling ratio is automatically specified based on the settings for "47. Method to Determine Original Size" and "39. Margin Adjustment for Auto Reduce/Enlarge", and the paper tray selected according to the long-edge and short-edge lengths of the data.
- When any setting without "/ Full Size" in its name is selected:
  If the data size is larger than the specified paper size, the data is reduced to fit the paper for printing.
  If the data size is smaller than the set paper size, the machine behavior differs depending on whether or not the setting value contains "/ Full size".

Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu
A paper tray is automatically selected from the available locations, including those loaded with custom-sized paper, according to the sent data size and reproduction ratio, and based on the setting in "47. Method to Determine Original Size".
Paper trays with regular sized paper are given priority under automatic selection. A custom size is selected if there is no regular size suitable for the data size, or all available regular sizes are larger than the size calculated by adding the value selected on the submenu to the data size. If a custom size is selected, the paper tray loaded with paper which prints minimum margins is used.
If both regular sizes and custom-sized paper are loaded, the value specified on the submenu is used in cases such as when printing data that is slightly smaller (print data size is in the range of regular size -150 mm) than a regular size on a regular size paper. Paper of regular sizes will be selected if a larger submenu value is specified.

Default: Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge

For RP-GL/2, the effective settings are "Off", "Auto 1: Long Edge", "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge", "Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size", and "Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu".
For RP-GL, the effective settings are "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge", "Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size", and "Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu". Selecting "Off" and "Auto 1: Long Edge" is invalid. When "Off" or "Auto 1: Long Edge" is selected, the data is printed on the paper fed from the currently selected paper tray.
When "Off" or "Auto 1: Long Edge" is selected in RP-GL/2, the configuration for "5. Axis Rotation" is valid. Furthermore, normal printing may not be performed if the paper is set in a long-edge orientation in some cases.
The setting in "20. Reproduction Ratio" is ignored if "Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size" is specified.
If "PS/IP Command" is selected in "47. Method to Determine Original Size", the paper tray will not be automatically switched for data without the PS command in RP-GL/2 or data without the IP command in RP-GL. Select either "Entire Image" or "Auto 1: Long Edge" in "47. Method to Determine Original Size".
A PS command is used to select a printing paper size based on vertical and horizontal lengths.
An IP command specifies a scaling point, which is a value referenced by the user when a unique coordinate system is configured.
When printing GL/GL2 data created in an application, data may be output in a different size to that expected in some cases. To print the data at a regular size, select "Off", "Auto 1: Long Edge", or "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge", or adjust the value under the "Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu" submenu so that the data size is correctly recognized as a regular size.
To print custom-sized data, select "Off" or "Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu".
If "Auto 1: Long Edge", "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge", "Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size", or "Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu" is selected, the paper tray is automatically selected only from one of those loaded with the paper types selected in "46. Paper Type for Auto Select Paper Tray". Paper trays loaded with other paper types and the bypass tray are not automatically selected.

For RP-GL/2 data, the valid combinations of the settings under the RPGL Menu are as follows:

	Off	Auto 1: Long Edge	Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge	Auto 2 + Red/Enlg Ratio: Paper Size	Org Sz Dtrmnd + R/E Ratio: Cor Valu

For RP-GL data, the valid combinations of the settings under the RPGL Menu are as follows:
