Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's trays. To check the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button in the [Paper Source] tab.
The "Output Size" setting and the "Paper Tray" setting are related as follows:

• When "Paper Tray" is set to [Auto Select]
The tray that contains paper of the size and type selected in "Output Size" and "Paper Type" is automatically selected.

• When "Paper Tray" is set to any setting other than [Auto Select]
The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Output Size" setting. When you have set "Paper Type" to [Bypass Tray], be sure to select "Paper Type". Check the paper type that is set for the bypass tray of the machine, check that paper of that type is actually loaded into the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate paper type.

• When "Paper Type" is set to [Auto Select]
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Output Size" is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper 1 only.)

• When "Paper Type" is set to anything other than [Auto Select]
A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Output Size" is used for printing.

The bypass tray or tray 4 can be used for envelope printing.

1. Click the [Paper Source] tab.
2. Select the envelope size from the "Output Size" menu.
When [Output Size] is set to envelope, [Paper Type] is automatically set to [Envelope].
When "Original Size" is set to envelope on the [Main] tab and "Output Size" is set to [Same as Original Size], "Paper Type" is automatically set to [Envelope].

3. Select [Bypass Tray] or [Tray 4] in "Paper Tray".
