3.10 Paper Handling
This section explains how to change mode for the MP (multi-purpose) tray, the paper size
and type for each paper source, and how to select the paper source and paper destinations.
3.10.1 MP Tray Mode
The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassette or First. The MP tray
feed paper differently depending on the mode:
• Cassette Mode (default)
The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper source. The printer can correctly
feed paper from any paper source as you command on the printer driver. The cassette
mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.
•First Mode
The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper
source that is selected on the printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have
been used up (approximately 100 sheets [A4 size, 0.11 mm thickness]), paper will be
fed from the paper source originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of
special size or type without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray
must be kept empty if you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.
To switch the MP tray to First mode, proceed as follows:
1
Press the MENU key.
2
Press the U or V key repeatedly until Paper Handling > appears.
3
Press the Z key.
4
Press the U or V key repeatedly until >MP Tray Mode appears.

6
Press the U or V key to change Cassette to First.
7
Press the ENTER key. The MP tray mode is changed.
