Automatically Selecting the Appropriate Paper Source for a Specific Function

You can make a setting so that a paper source loaded with the appropriate paper is automatically selected for a copying or printing operation. If paper in the selected paper source runs out during the operation, the paper source will be automatically switched to another paper source loaded with paper of the same size and the copying or printing operation will continue.
