Loading Paper
This section describes how to load paper.
Types of paper loaded in trays
The machine automatically detects the size and orientation of loaded paper in a tray,
but not a paper type. Normally, each tray is set to plain paper. When loading paper
other than plain paper, you must change the paper type setting. You can name paper
types and can set up to five paper types as user-defined paper.
For information on changing the paper type settings, refer to "Changing the Paper Settings" (P.87).
Automatic Tray Selection
When making prints, the machine automatically selects the corresponding paper tray
according to the size and orientation of the document to print by selecting [Select By
Tray] from the drop down menu under [Paper] on the [Paper/Output] tab, and then
selecting [Automatically Select] on the property screen of the PCL print driver. 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
4
[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
For information about [Paper Type], [Paper Type Priority], and [Paper Tray Priority] settings, and the
paper substitute feature, refer to "5 Tools" > "Common Service Settings" > "Paper Tray Settings" in the
Administrator Guide. You can also set these settings from CentreWare Internet Services.
Adding paper
When the machine runs out of paper during copying or printing, a message appears on
the touch screen. Add paper according to the message instructions. Copying or printing
automatically resumes when paper is added.
Note
Loading Paper in Trays 1 and 2
The following describes the procedure for loading paper in Trays 1 and 2.

• Tray 5 (Bypass) cannot be selected in automatic tray selection.
• When the paper runs out during copying or printing, select a tray containing the same sized
paper and orientation, and the machine continues copying or printing (Auto Tray Switching
feature). The machine cannot switch to a tray containing a paper type for which [Paper Type
Priority] is set to [Auto Paper Off].
• Carefully fan the paper before loading it in a tray. Otherwise, the paper may stick together,
resulting in paper jams, or multiple sheets being fed to the machine simultaneously.
• The paper size settings specified for Tray 1 to 2 cannot be changed.
• Before loading paper in a tray, fan the paper well. It prevents paper from sticking to each
other and reduces paper jams.
