Paper Handling
This section explains how to change the mode for the MP tray, the paper size and type for each
paper source, and how to select the paper source and paper destinations.
MP Tray Mode
The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassette or First. The MP tray feeds paper
differently depending on the mode:
• Cassette Mode (default)
The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper sources. The printer can feed paper from
any paper source you command on the printer driver. The cassette mode provides a faster
printing speed than the first mode.
•First Mode
The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper source
that is selected on the printer driver. After all sheets in the MP tray have been used up
(approximately 100 sheets), paper will be fed from the paper source originally selected. This
mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type without reloading the current paper
source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if you desire to feed paper from the intended
paper source.

Setting MP Tray Paper Size
When you use the MP tray in cassette mode, you should set the MP tray size to the paper size that
is used to format the job to print. If the sizes do not match, printing will not be performed on the
correct size paper. The default setting is Letter size for the U.S. and Canada and A4 for other
countries. For more information about the paper sizes that you can feed from the MP tray, refer to
Paper Specifications on page 1-2.
NOTE: Feeding the paper having a paper size which does not match the current paper size from the
MP tray can cause paper jam.
