Return to Overview

You can perform reserved copying from the multi-purpose tray by specifying in advance the paper to be loaded for the next job. However, this is possible only if paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job.

The following example assumes that LTR plain paper is being fed from the multi-purpose tray for the current job, and that you are selecting 11" × 17" plain paper to be fed from the multi-purpose tray for a reserved job.

• 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, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.

• If [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] is set to 'On', reserved copying can be performed only for the registered paper size and type. (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults.")

• For more information on paper types, see "Basic Operations."

1. Press [Close] on the pop-up screen that appears while the machine is printing.

If the job displayed on the touch panel display is from a function other than the Copy function, press [Close] → (Main Menu) → [Copy] to display the Regular Copy Basic Features screen.

2. Place your originals → set the desired copy modes → press [Paper Select] → [Change MP Tray Paper].

Normally, when reserved copying is not being set, the Change MP Tray Paper screen is automatically displayed when paper is loaded into the multi-purpose tray.

3. Select the desired paper size.

The paper size/type currently loaded and the paper size/type reserved to be loaded are displayed, as shown on the screen below.

• If there is more than one reserved job waiting to print, only the last paper size/type specified for the reserved copy job is shown on the Paper Select screen and Regular Copy Basic Features screen.

• If you selected [Heavy4], [Textured 4], [1-Sided Coated 4], [2-Sided Coated 4], [Labels], [Tracing], [Transparency], or [Envelope], you cannot specify any Finishing modes (Collate, Group, or Staple).
