Basic Printing
•Usingthe 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 acertain 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 x86.0 mm size paper, and Photo Stickers PS-101 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 Feed Switch
button on the printer or printer driver.
You can also specify the type/size of paperto 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.
W Note For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the PrinterDriver
Guide.
You can switch between paper
loaded in
the auto sheetfeeder
(e.g., 4
11
x6
11
/101.6 x 152.4
mm) and the cassette (e.g., A4/
Letter-sized paper).
5

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 alarge volume of paper. To
use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand.
WNote For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the PrinterDriver
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 asmall place, such as on a shelf
with minimal space, you can use just the cassette for printing.
WNote Legal-sized paper and 2.13
