Using the Appropriate Paper Source for Each Function
If you print without specifying the paper source, the machine automatically selects the paper source according to the size of the paper to be printed. In addition, if the machine runs out of paper while printing, it automatically selects another paper source loaded with the same size paper*1 to continue printing.
You can use the appropriate paper source by setting the paper source that is selected automatically for each function, such as copy, print, and fax reception.
