About the Auto Sheet Feeder and the Cassette

You can load paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette.

Loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to
and print on various sizes or types of paper.

Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is
convenient for loading a certain type of paper, such as plain paper, you regularly print onto.

Loading paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed
methods available:

* Some types of paper cannot be used on the Cassette. See

“Recommended Paper and

Requirements” on page 20

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