Loading Paper
This section describes how to load paper.
îš„Types of paper loaded in trays
The machine automatically detects the size and orientation of loaded paper in trays.
You need to set a paper type, however. Normally, each of the trays is set to plain paper.
When loading paper other than plain paper in trays, change the paper type settings.
Paper can also be named and set as user-defined paper. Up to five paper types can be
set as user-defined paper.
For information on changing the paper type in trays, refer to "Changing the Paper Settings" (P.65).
îš„Automatic Tray Selection
If you set paper source on the [Paper/Output] tab to [Automatically Select] in the PCL
print driver's properties screen when making prints, the machine automatically selects
the corresponding paper tray according to the size and orientation of the document to
print. This is called [Automatic Tray Selection].
When making copies, automatic tray selection is active if [Auto Select] is selected for
[Paper Supply]. If the machine detects two or more corresponding trays in the
automatic tray selection, the machine gives higher priority to the tray having the highest
[Paper Type Priority] set at [Paper Tray Settings]. During automatic tray selection, trays
whose [Paper Type Priority] setting is set to [Auto Paper Off] are not targeted in the
automatic tray selection. Also, if the [Paper Type Priority] setting is exactly the same,
the tray priority is determined by [Paper Tray Priority].
Note • Tray 5 (Bypass) cannot be selected in the automatic tray selection.
• When the machine runs out of paper during copying or printing, select the tray containing the
paper of the same size and orientation that was being used for copying or printing, and
continue copying or printing (Auto Tray Switch feature). During this operation, a tray
containing paper of type whose [Paper Type Priority] setting is set to [Auto Paper Off] cannot
be switched to.
For information about setting [Paper Type], [Paper Type Priority], and [Paper Tray Priority], and about
setting the paper substitute feature, refer to "Paper Tray Settings" (P.155). The same settings can also be
made from CentreWare Internet Services.
îš„Adding paper
When the machine runs out of paper during copying or printing, a message is displayed
on the touch screen. Add paper according to the displayed instructions. Copying or
Printing is automatically resumed when paper is added.
Note • Fan the paper well before loading paper in a tray. It prevents paper from sticking to each
other and reduces paper jams.
