Printing from Your PC
Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder
The DCP’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and
organizer paper. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins
the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.
■ Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the DCP. If there are more pages,
the DCP begins to print the next page automatically.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next
larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in
your application software. (See
Acceptable Paper
, page 2-7.)
You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application
software.
