# PAPER FEEDING IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT

Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's trays. To check the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button in [Paper Selection] on the [Paper] tab.
The relationships between the "Paper Size" setting and the "Paper Selection" setting are as follows:

- When "Paper Tray" in "Paper Selection" is set to [Auto Select]

- The tray that contains paper of the size and type selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" is automatically selected.

- When "Paper Tray" in "Paper Selection" is set to anything other than [Auto Select]

- The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.
  When you have set "Paper Tray" to [Bypass Tray], be sure to select "Paper Type". Check the paper type that is set for the bypass tray of the machine, check that paper of that type is actually loaded into the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate paper type.

- When "Paper Type" in "Paper Selection" is set to [Auto Select]

- A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.)

- When "Paper Type" in "Paper Selection" is set to anything other than [Auto Select]

- A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing.

Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray.
For the procedure for loading paper in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER INTO THE BYPASS TRAY".
When [Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray] (disabled by factory default) or [Enable Selected Paper Type in Bypass Tray] (enabled by factory default), which you can reach by selecting [System Settings] in "Setting mode" → [Printer Settings]→[Default Settings]→[Bypass Tray Settings] is enabled, printing will not take place if the paper size or paper type specified in the printer driver is different from the paper size or paper type specified in the settings of the bypass tray.
To exclude the bypass tray from the trays that can be selected when [Auto Select] is selected:
In "Setting mode", select [System Settings]→[Printer Settings]→[Default Settings]→[Bypass Tray Settings]→[Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select].
If special media are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is recommended that this setting be enabled.
