Enabling Paper Drawer Auto Selection
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 copying/printing.
Auto Drawer Switching (ADS): If the selected paper source runs out of paper during a copy/print job, the machine automatically selects another paper source with the same paper size, and continues copying/printing.
If you additionally set [Consider Paper Type] when copying, you can specify the detailed settings for selecting paper.
[Consider Paper Type]:
If the selected paper source runs out of paper during a copy job, another paper source with the same paper type is selected as the result of Auto Drawer Switching. If you set to 'On', paper sources with different paper types are not selected even when the paper source are loaded with the same paper size.
