Automatically Printing after Changing the Paper Type
When the [Paper Type] settings match the loaded paper type in the tray, the printer will
select the appropriate tray based on the paper type setting you specified, even if you do not
specify a paper tray with the print driver.
This method makes it possible to request a print job without worrying about the type of paper
loaded in each paper tray.
In order to use this feature, use the control panel to configure paper type settings for the
printer trays.
1. On the [File] menu, select [Print].
2. Select the printer from the [Select Printer] list, and then click [Preferences].
3. Click <v> beside the [Paper] to display the options, and then select [Advanced Paper
Selection].
4. For [Paper Tray], select [Automatically Select].
5. For the [Paper Type], select the paper type to print.
