Drawer Auto Selection On/Off 
Enable or disable the automatic drawer selection feature for the paper sources. If automatic drawer selection is set to <On> when printing documents, the machine automatically selects a paper source that is loaded with the appropriate paper size. Also, when the paper runs out, this setting enables continuous printing by switching from one paper source to another that is loaded with the same paper size. You can select a function, such as copy or print, to enable this feature.

<Speed Priority>
When using paper that has been preprinted with a logo, you need to change how it is facing when you perform 1-sided and 2-sided printing.
NOTE:
We recommend selecting <Speed Priority> if you do not need to consider which side to print on.
<Print Side Priority>
To print on a specific side of paper, you do not need to flip over paper in the paper source whether 1- or 2-sided printing is selected.
NOTE:
If <Print Side Priority> is set for a paper source that is loaded with paper you cannot use for 2-sided printing (Paper), <Speed Priority> is applied to the paper source instead. In this case, you need to load the paper in the same way as when <Speed Priority> is selected (Loading Preprinted Paper).
1-sided printing speed may be slower when <Print Side Priority> is selected.
