Automatically Selecting the Appropriate Paper Source for a Specific Function
A6E0-018
Paper sources in which <Paper Source Auto Selection> are set to <On> will be automatically selected when <Select Paper> is set to <Auto>. Paper sources in which <Paper Source Auto Selection> are set to <Off> will not be selected unless they are selected manually.
To the paper source to be selected automatically, one of the following paper types must be selected for each paper source.
If <Consider Paper Type> is set to <On>
1-Sided Printing: Thin, Plain, Recycled
2-Sided Printing: Thin*1, Plain, Recycled
If <Consider Paper Type> is set to <Off>
1-Sided Printing: Thin*1, Plain, Recycled, Heavy*1, Color*1 (in white)
2-Sided Printing: Thin*1, Plain, Recycled, Heavy*1, Color*1 (in white)
<Other> enables you to make settings for a paper source that is used for outputting reports.
If you select the <Optimal Productivity> check box, the machine automatically switches from one paper source to another before the paper in the first paper source runs out.

Select <On> for each paper source that you want to be selected automatically.
If you selected <Copy> in step 3
Set whether to consider color selection and paper type.
If you select the <Consider Color> check box, the machine automatically switches between a paper source for color copying/printing and a paper source for black and white copying/printing according to the settings specified in <Paper Source Auto Selection Based on Color>.
If you deselect the <Consider Color> check box, the machine selects the paper source without considering the color.
If you select the <Consider Paper Type> check box: when the current paper source runs out of paper, copying is halted even if another paper source is loaded with paper of the same size, unless the type of that paper is the same as with the paper in question. Pressing (Start) again displays the paper selection screen.
If you deselect the <Consider Paper Type> check box: when the current paper source runs out of paper, automatic paper source switching is performed and copying is continued if another paper source is loaded with paper of the same size, regardless of the paper type.
If you selected <Printer> in step 3
Set whether to put multiple paper sources in a group. If paper source grouping is specified, paper source selection is automatically performed within a group when you print by specifying any paper source belonging to that group. To specify paper source grouping, select the <Use Group> check box, press <Change> to select a group which you want to put each paper source in, and press <OK>.
When paper runs out during printing and there is paper of the same size placed horizontally (A4R and LTRR) in another source that is set for automatic selection, the operation differs according to the function, as indicated below.
<Copy>, <Printer>, and <Access Stored Files>: The machine stops printing without switching to a source of paper placed horizontally.
Functions other than the above: The machine switches to a source of paper placed horizontally and continues printing.
