Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults

By registering the paper size and type as the default settings for the multi-purpose tray beforehand, you can use the multi-purpose tray as another paper source. This setting is useful if you always load the same paper size and type into the multi-purpose tray.

If the multi-purpose tray is registered as a paper source for the fax receiving, the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray is always used for printing received faxes.

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 and require a service repair, or the paper could jam.

NOTE
If you are using the multi-purpose tray as a paper source for copying, printing stored files, and receiving faxes, you must set so that the multi-purpose tray is eligible for the Paper Drawer Auto Selection. (See "Setting the Paper Drawer Auto Selection On/Off.")
