when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
• The paper capacity described in the tables above is an example. Actual paper capacity might be
lower, depending on the paper type.
• When loading paper, make sure the stack height does not exceed the limit mark of the paper tray.

tray.
• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.

feeds from one of the trays in which [Yes] is selected for [Apply Auto Paper Select] when the first
tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. This saves interrupting a
copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can specify the paper
type of the paper trays under [Paper Type]. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Settings. For the
