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 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.
Plain paper, recycled paper and bond 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 "Paper Size/Type" (P.272).
Automatic tray selection
If you set [Paper Source] on the [Tray/Layout] tab to [Auto] 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] 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
For information on setting [Paper Tray Settings], [Paper Type Priority], [Paper Tray Priority], and
setting the paper substitute feature, refer to "Paper Tray Settings" (P.271). The same settings can also be
made from CentreWare Internet Services.

• The 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 [Off] cannot be
switched to.
