    Based on the paper settings in the printer driver and the paper information registered on the printer, the printer automatically determines the paper source and feeds paper.
    Rear Tray
    Paper is always fed from the rear tray.

    Paper is always fed from the cassette.

    Important

    • Plain paper that is not Letter 8.5"x11" 22x28cm, A5, A4, or B5 and paper types other than plain paper cannot be fed from the cassette.

    When you perform print, the printer uses the specified paper source to print the data.
