Loading Paper
You can load paper both into the paper drawer and multi-purpose tray. Load the paper you usually use into the paper drawer. The paper drawer is convenient when using large amounts of paper. Use the multi-purpose tray when you temporarily use a size or type of paper that is not loaded in the paper drawer. See Paper for available paper sizes.
Paper Type and Paper Setting in the Printer Driver
Before printing a document, see the table below to specify the paper settings in the printer driver according to the type of the paper to load into the paper source.

When printing on paper that has absorbed moistureSteam may emit from the paper output area, or water droplets may form around the paper output area. There is nothing unusual about any of these occurrences, which occur when the heat generated from fixing toner on the paper causes moisture in the paper to evaporate (most likely to occur at low room temperatures).
