Automatically Selecting the Appropriate Paper Source for a Specific Function

You can enable or disable the automatic paper source selection function for each paper source. If this function is set to <On>, the machine automatically selects a paper source that is loaded with paper of the appropriate size for each print job. Also, when the paper in the selected paper source runs out, this function enables continuous printing by switching from that paper source to another that is loaded with paper of the same size.


Always specify <On> for at least one of the paper sources. If you select <Off> for all the paper sources, then you cannot finish the setting procedure.
