Changing the paper feeding method is completed.

Selecting the Paper Source

• When using the Paper Feed Switch option, paper is fed from the paper source specified by the printer's <Paper Feed Switch> button.
  
  Note:  Every time the Paper Feed Switch button is clicked, the paper source is switched between cassette and auto sheet feeder.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• When using the Auto Sheet Feeder option, paper is fed from the auto sheet feeder, regardless of the <Paper Feed Switch> setting of the printer.
• When using the Cassette option, paper is fed from the cassette, regardless of the <Paper Feed Switch> setting of the printer.
• When using the Continuous Autofeed option,  paper is fed from the cassette, or the auto sheet feeder. Printing can be performed on the same type of the paper in large quantities. Paper is fed from the paper source specified by the printer's <Paper Feed Switch> button. When paper runs out in that paper source, the paper is fed from the other paper source and printing is continued. 
  
  Note: You can use plain paper (A5, A4, and Letter) when using this function.
  
  
• When using the Paper Allocation option, the paper source is automatically switched, using the Paper Allocation setting.  When the print data's paper size matches that of the paper registered for the cassette, paper will be fed from the cassette. When a paper size other than that in the cassette is specified, paper will be fed from the auto sheet feeder.  Click here for details on setting the paper allocation.
