Important
Continuous Autofeed is unavailable when paper other than Plain Paper is selected for Media
Type.
Since the printer feeds paper from the paper source that was being used the last time
Continuous Autofeed was selected and printing ended, load the same paper in both the rear
tray and the cassette.
Paper Allocation
When the media type for the print data is plain paper and the paper size matches the paper
allocation setting, the printer automatically feeds paper from the cassette. If not, the printer feeds
paper from the rear tray.
To change the paper allocation settings, click Paper Allocation..., specify the Paper Size to be loaded
in the cassette, and then click OK.
When you load frequently used plain paper in the cassette, the printer feeds other types of paper
from the rear tray, thus reducing the work of reloading paper.
3. Complete the setup
Click OK.
When you execute print, the printer uses the specified paper source to print the data.
