Before Printing

Changing the Paper Source to Feed Different Types/Sizes of Paper

If you load plain paper in the Cassette and photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, changing the
paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper.
To change the paper source, use [Feed Switch] on the machine or printer driver.
You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use with the
printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the
Cassette whenever you print.

(A) Auto Sheet Feeder
(B) You can switch between paper loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder (e.g., 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4
mm) or Cassette (e.g., A4/Letter-sized paper).
(C) Cassette

Continuous Printing on the Same Type/Size of Paper by Using Both the
Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette together

If the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches
to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper.

Note

For information on page size, media type, and paper support load limit for Auto Sheet
Feeder or Cassette, see

“Recommended Paper and Requirements” on page 22

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide.
