Setting the Method for Selecting Multi-Purpose Tray Paper

You can set the method for selecting the paper to use in the multi-purpose tray.

If you always use the same paper size/type in the multi-purpose tray, it is convenient to register the paper in [Use Preset].

You can also print on the registered paper when faxes are received.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. 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.
