If ‘Auto Select’ is selected, a paper source will be selected in accordance with the paper size
setting. If the same size paper in the same orientation is loaded in multiple trays, the tray will be
selected in the following order of priority:
Large capacity tray (optional)
→
Tray 1
→
Tray 2
→
Tray 3 (optional)
→
Tray 4 (optional)
→
Bypass Tray*
*
If the key operator program “Enable Bypass-Tray Size Detection” is not set, the bypass tray will
not be selected by ‘Auto Select’.
If both portrait and landscape paper of the same size are available, the paper in the portrait
orientation will have priority. However if only paper with landscape orientation is available, the print
image will be rotated and printed on that paper.
Once printing has started with either portrait or landscape paper and the paper tray becomes
empty, the automatic tray switching feature will only switch to a tray containing the same size and
orientation.
The bypass tray can operate in two modes:
1. ‘Bypass Tray’, which automatically draws the paper out of the bypass tray treating it as if it were a
standard paper tray.
2. ‘Bypass Tray (manual)’, which pauses and waits for the user to insert paper into the tray. If the
paper is already in the bypass tray, user should first remove the paper and then put the paper back
into the bypass tray. At this time, the paper will automatically start to feed.
If a particular tray is explicitly selected, the printer will pause and request paper to be added when
the tray is empty. To continue printing by using another tray or cancel printing when the selected
tray becomes empty, perform the procedure below:
1. Press
the
PRINT key on the printer to select the printer mode.
2. Press
the
“PAPER SELECT” key on the touch panel to select the desired tray or the CLEAR (
C
)
key to cancel printing.
3. Press the “ONLINE” key on the touch panel to select the online mode.
If you have selected the desired tray in step 2, printing will resume.
4. Press
the
COPY key to select the copier mode.
Labels, tracing paper, and other special purpose papers other than SHARP recommended transparency film must
be fed individually.
Key operator program “Prohibit Bypass-Tray Selection” allows the user to specify whether the printer will use the
bypass tray when using automatic paper selection and automatic tray switching features
.
