Reserved printing using the multi-purpose tray is possible only if paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job.
The following example assumes that A3 plain paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job, and that you are selecting A4 plain paper to be fed from the multi-purpose tray for a reserved job.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
