Printing with Easy Setup

In this machine, there are two paper sources, a rear tray and a cassette.
The position where the paper is set differs depending on the paper type to be printed.

The procedure for setting the basic print setup, which is necessary to print data properly, is as follows:

1. Select Page Attributes from the pop-up menu on the Page Setup dialog box, and select your model from the Format for menu.
   
   
   
   
2. Select the size of the paper to be used for printing from the Paper Size menu, and click 'OK'.
   
   
3. Select Quality & Media on the pop-up menu in the Print dialog box. Then for Media Type, select the same paper type loaded in the machine.
   
   
   
   The paper feeding method is changed automatically. Check the paper feeding position.
   Depending on the paper type used, a paper feed method may appear grayed out and may not be available.
   
   Note:
   * If Plain Paper is selected for Media Type, paper is fed from the Cassette.
   * If a setting other than Plain Paper is selected for Media Type, paper is fed from the Rear Tray.
   
   
4. For Print Mode, select Printing a top-quality photo, Printing tables and charts, or Printing a composite document, according to your purpose.
   
   To change the balance and halftone expression methods for print quality and print speed, select Detailed Setting.
   
   
5. Click 'Print'.
