Paper sources for which Paper Drawer Auto Selection is set to 'On' are used for Automatic Paper Selection and Auto Drawer Switching. You can set which paper sources can be used for Automatic Paper Selection and Auto Drawer Switching with each function, such as Copy and Print.
Automatic Paper Selection (APS): The machine automatically selects the appropriate paper size (paper source) when you start printing.
Auto Drawer Switching (ADS): If the selected paper source runs out of paper during a print job, the machine automatically selects another paper source with the same paper size, and continues printing.

NOTE
|
|
At least one of the paper sources besides the multi-purpose tray must be set to 'On'.
The settings under [Copy] include an option called [Consider Paper Type], which determines whether the machine considers the paper type loaded in a paper source.
If you set [Consider Paper Type] to 'On', paper is not fed from another paper source when the original paper source runs out of paper, unless another paper source is loaded with paper of the same size and type. For more information on stored paper types, see "Registering/Editing Custom Paper Types."
If you set [Consider Paper Type] to 'Off', paper is fed from another paper source when paper in the current paper source runs out, as long as the same paper size is loaded in that paper source.
