Selecting a source
You can print by source (tray) or by type or size. To print by source, follow these steps. For
Macintosh operating systems, types and sizes are grouped together under the Paper
Source pop-up menu.

possible. Otherwise, select a tray from the Source is field from the Paper tab in your
printer driver.
● Mac OS 9.2.2: In the Print dialog box, select a tray on the Paper Source pop-up menu
on the General pop-up menu.
● Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3: From the Print dialog box, select the tray or type of media on the
Paper Feed pop-up menu.
Selecting a type or size
You can print by source (tray) or by type or size. If you are printing on special print media,
such as heavy paper, it is important to print by type to achieve good results. To print by type
or size, follow these steps. For Macintosh operating systems, types and sizes are all
grouped together under the Paper Source pop-up menu.
● Windows: In the printer driver, select a type in the Type is field of the Paper tab. Or,
select a size from the Size is field. For some paper, such as letterhead, you select both
a type and size.
● Mac OS 9.2.2: In the Print dialog box, select a type on the Paper Source pop-up menu
on the General pull-up menu.
● Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3: In the Print dialog box, select the tray or type of media on the
Paper Feed pull-up menu.
