What to Do

 Depending on the settings, some of the options below may not be displayed.

Print on set paper

Select this option to print/copy on the loaded paper with the paper settings specified when printing/copying.

For example, when the paper size specified when printing is A5 and both the paper information for the rear tray and the paper information for the cassette are registered as A4, select this option to print on an A4 paper with the A5 setting.

Replace paper

Select this option to print/copy after changing the paper in the rear tray or the cassette.

For example, when the paper size specified when printing is A5 and both the paper information for the rear tray and the paper information for the cassette are registered as A4, select this option to print after changing the paper in the rear tray or the cassette with an A5 paper.

After changing the paper, if the paper information registration screen appears, register the paper information on the printer according to the loaded paper.

 If you do not know the paper size and media type to be loaded in the rear tray or cassette, press the printer's Back button. The paper size and media type are displayed.
