Automatically Selecting the Appropriate Paper Source for a Specific Function

By setting <On> for some paper source under this setting, paper is automatically fed from this paper source. When printing from a computer, a paper source is automatically selected.
When copying or printing by using <<Access Stored Files>>, a paper source is automatically selected depending on the paper specified in <Select Paper>. For example, when paper runs out while printing from Paper Source 1, printing can be resumed automatically by switching to Paper Source 2 as long as paper of the same size is loaded in Paper Source 1 and Paper Source 2.
To the paper source to be selected automatically, one of the following paper types must be selected for each paper source.
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)
*1 Only paper that can be printed on both sides are available. For more information, see Paper Available for Two-Sided Copying/Two-Sided Printing.
When the copy ratio is set to <Auto>, a paper source will not be selected automatically.
When one of the following modes is set, a paper source will not be selected automatically.
