Switching the Paper Source to Match the Purpose
In this printer, there are two paper sources, a rear tray and a cassette.
You can facilitate printing by selecting a paper source setting that matches your print conditions or purpose.
-
Start printing from your application.
The Print dialog opens.
-
Set the Paper Source (Feed from:) and Media Type from Media & Quality.
example
If you are using a version of macOS™ prior to macOS 13, you will see a button at the lower left corner of the Print dialog that says Show Details or Hide Details. If it says Show Details, click it.
Select Media & Quality from the pop-up menu in the middle of the Print dialog (this usually shows the name of the program you are printing from).
An error may occur if the paper size / type set in the print dialog is different from the paper size / type set on the printer. Select the correct items on the print dialog and the printer that correspond to the paper being printed.
If printing in A4, A5, JIS B5, or US Letter, set the desired feed position (Main Tray or Rear Tray) from Feed from: of the print dialog. If Auto Select is selected in Feed from, the feed position differs depending on Media Type. If Media Type is set to plain paper, it is fed from the cassette (main tray). If set to other types of paper, it is fed from the rear tray.

Click Print.
