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 ortypes
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, suchasplain 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 86.0mmsize paper, and Photo Stickers PS-10l are
not
loadable in the
cassette.
• Changing the paper source to feed different types/sizesofpaper
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 typesofpaper
without
removing and reloading paper.Tochange the paper source, use the
Feed
Switch
button
on
the printer or printer driver.
You
can
also specify the type/sizeofpaper tobefed 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.
FJ?l
Note
For
information
on
the printer driver settings, refer to the
Printer
Driver
Guide.
You
can
switch between paper
loaded in the auto sheet feeder
(e.g., 4" x
6"/101.6x152.4
mm) and the cassette (e.g.,
A4/
~--,
..........
Letter-sized paper).
5
Basic Printing
• Continuous printingonthe same type/sizeofpaper by using both the auto sheet
feeder and cassette together
If
the auto sheet feeder or cassette runs
outofpaper, the paper source automatically
switches to the other one. This is useful for
printing
onto a large volumeofpaper.
To
use
this
feature, you needtoconfigure the printer driver beforehand.
W
Note
For
information
on
the printer driver settings, refer to the
Printer
Driver
Guide.
If
the auto sheet feeder runs
outofpaper, 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 locationofthe
printer.
For
example,ifyou intend to install the printer in a small place, suchasonashelf
with minimal space, you
can
use just the cassette for printing.
