This section describes how to load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder and the Cassette.

Auto Sheet Feeder

Cassette

Basic Printing

 Using the Auto Sheet Feeder and the Cassette

You can load paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette.

Loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper.

Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is convenient for loading a certain type of paper, such as plain paper, you regularly print onto.

Loading paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed methods available:

* Legal-sized paper and 2.13" x 3.39"/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper, and Photo Stickers are not loadable in the

Cassette.

• Changing the paper source to feed different types/sizes of paper If you load plain paper in the Cassette and photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder,

changing the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper. To change the paper source, use the Paper Feed Switch on the printer or printer driver.

You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the Cassette whenever you print.

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the

Guide

You can switch between paper loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder (e.g., 4" x 6" / 101.6 x

152.4 mm) and the Cassette (e.g., Letter-sized paper).

Printer Driver

Basic Printing

• Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette together

If the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand.

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the

Guide

If the Auto Sheet Feeder runs out of paper, the paper source automatically changes to the Cassette.

• Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer You can use just the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette according to the location of the

printer.

For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf with minimal space, you can use just the Cassette for printing.

Printer Driver

Legal-sized paper and 2.13" x 3.39"/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper, and Photo Stickers are not loadable in the Cassette. If you intend to use only the Cassette, check any usage restrictions in advance.
