Paper Tray Settings

Paper tray and paper type settings are explained in this section.
These settings specify the paper type, paper size, and functions allowed for each paper tray.
When the [Tray Settings] key is tapped, a list appears showing the trays and the current settings.

Auto Switching of Tray

When a tray runs out of paper during printing, this determines whether or not another tray with the same size and type of paper is automatically selected and printing continues.

Factory default settings:: Disable

Display Paper Tray Settings when bypass tray detects paper.

You can have the paper tray settings appear automatically when paper is detected in the bypass tray.

Factory default settings:: Disable

Paper Weight Setting

These are used to control the toner fusing temperature according to the weight of the paper.
These settings apply to recycled paper, punched paper, pre-printed paper, letterhead paper, colored paper, and user type paper. Enter "/".
You can select "60g/m² to 89g/m ²" or "90g/m² to 105g/m²" ("16 to 24 lbs." or "24+ to 28 lbs.").

Select Paper Sizes for Auto Detection

"Select Paper Sizes for Auto Detection" in the bypass tray settings screen is used to select the paper size that is automatically detected from similar sizes when the automatic paper size detection takes place.
When paper that is the same size as one of the paper sizes in the settings is placed in the bypass tray, the size that is selected in the settings will be automatically detected.

List name	Description
Auto-AB	A4R, A5, 216mm x 330mm (8-1/2” x 13"), 216mm x 340mm (8-1/2" x 13-2/5"), 216mm x 343mm (8-1/2" x 13-1/2")

When the vertical or horizontal width is 100 mm or less, measure from the assistant line.
If you need to use this setting together with the Side 1/2, XY Ratio Settings, specify the Side 1/2, XY Ratio Settings first.
Changes in the environment of the machine, such as humidity and temperature, may cause a deviation of about 1 mm in the Side 1/2, XY Print Position.

Measurement patterns for Side 1/2, XY Ratio Settings / Side 1/2, XY Print Position Settings

To specify Side 1/2, XY Print Position Settings and Side 1/2, XY Ratio Settings, print a pattern for measurement.
Content of the measurement pattern

No.	Item	Description
1	Measurement Line	Reference line for measurement. Measurement lines for AB sizes and inch sizes have been created.
2	Dot Line	This line is visible through the Side 1 and Side 2 to let you visually check for misalignment. The line is printed at the same position on the Side 1 and Side 2. If visual inspection reveals that the lines are not aligned, the print positions on the Side 1 and Side 2 are not aligned.
3	Assistant Line	Assistant line located 25 mm from the center of the paper. When the paper size is 100 mm or less, use this line for measurement.
4	Notes (Side 1/Side 2)	These indicate the Side 1 and Side 2.
5	Notes (X/Y axis)	When entering the settings, these indicate the X and Y axes of the paper.
6	Assistant Line (Magnification)	Indicates a position that is ±1% of the measured distance.

The same measurement pattern content is printed at the same size, regardless of the paper size. The outer perimeter of the measurement pattern is trimmed to match the paper size.
Example: Content trimmed for an AB size

Example: Content trimmed for an inch size
