 Page Size

Allows you to specify a paper or envelope size for your print job from the available list. Displayed selections are dependent on the Page sizes supported for the selected paper source. For example, envelope sizes will not be displayed if the Source is set to Cassette 2, because cassettes do not support envelopes. Envelopes can only be fed to the printer through the Multi-Purpose Feeder or Envelope Feeder.

An adjustable rotary-type paper selector on the front, inside part of the cassette must be set to match the page size within the cassette. Printer Sensors will read this setting. Because the Multi-Purpose Feeder does not use page size sensors, this setting must be made in the printer driver, at the printer’s front panel, or by sending a PRESCRIBE Command to the printer from the computer.

Supported Page sizes for the Cassette

Letter, Legal, A4, A5, B5 (JIS)

Supported Page sizes for the Paper Feeder, Cassettes 2-3

Letter, Legal, A4, A5, B5 (JIS)

 Print Size

Allows you to increase or decrease the size of the printed output, relative to the selected Page Size. Print Size and Page Size share the same size selections.

•	To match the selected Page Size, select Same as Page Size.

Example: If A4 is displayed in Page Size, A4 will not be displayed under Print Size. To perform a match, select Same as Page Size.

•	To print a different size from the Page Size, select the desired size from the drop down menu. For each option, the menu displays the scaling percentage relative to the selected Page Size.

Example: If Letter is displayed in Page Size and you select Executive (84%) in Print Size, the printed result will measure 7.25 x 10.5 inches, not 8.5 x 11 inches.

Supported Print sizes:

Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B5 (JIS), B5 (ISO), B6, Envelope #6, Envelope #9, Envelope #10, Envelope Monarch, Envelope C5, Envelope DL

Setting MP Tray as Cassette

Setting the MP Tray as Cassette allows faster printing than setting the MP Tray as First. However, with the Cassette setting, you cannot use the MP Tray for duplex printing.

To set the MP Tray as Cassette, follow these steps:

1.	On the printer’s front panel press the MODE key.

2.	Press the + key until Paper handling appears on the Message Display, then press the > key.

3.	Press the + key until MP tray mode appears on the Message Display, then press the ENTER key.

4.	When a flashing ? appears beneath MP tray mode, press the + key until Cassette appears.

5.	Press the ENTER key, then press the MODE key.

A setting of First will override the driver’s Paper Source selection and instruct the printer to select first from the Multi-Purpose Feeder when it is loaded. If the Multi-Purpose Feeder is not loaded, then the driver’s Paper Source selection will determine the paper source.


Setting MP Tray as First

Setting the MP Tray as First directs the printer to automatically feed paper placed in the MP Tray, even if another paper source is selected in the driver. After all MP Tray paper is used, the printer will feed paper from the source originally set.

To set the MP Tray as First, follow these steps:

1.	On the printer’s front panel press the MODE key.

2.	Press the + key until Paper handling appears on the Message Display, then press the > key.

3.	Press the + key until MP tray mode appears on the Message Display, then press the ENTER key.

4.	When a flashing ? appears beneath MP tray mode, press the + key until First appears.

5.	Press the ENTER key, then press the MODE key.

A setting of First will override the driver’s Paper Source selection and instruct the printer to select first from the Multi-Purpose Feeder when it is loaded. If the Multi-Purpose Feeder is not loaded, then the driver’s Paper Source selection will determine the paper source.


Setting MP Tray Paper Sizes

To set MP Tray paper sizes, follow these steps:

1.	On the printer’s front panel press the MODE key.

2.	Press the + key until Paper handling appears on the Message Display, then press the > key.

3.	Press the + key until MP tray size appears on the Message Display, then press the ENTER key.

4.	When a flashing ? appears beneath MP tray size, press the + key until desired paper size appears.

5.	Press the ENTER key, then press the MODE key.

 Paper Feeder

The Paper Feeder is an optional 500 sheet paper source. The Mini Paper Feeder is similar to the Paper Feeder, except the Mini Paper Feeder does not support legal size paper.

To use this paper source, first install it beneath the printer’s Internal Cassette and select it as a Device Option in the Device Settings tab. A maximum of two Paper Feeders can be attached to a printer, increasing the cassette paper sources to three and a total paper capacity to 1250 sheets.

A Paper Path Adapter must be used to connect the Paper Feeder to the printer. Only install a paper adapter to the top feeder. No Paper Path Adapter is required to attach the Paper Feeder to another Paper Feeder.

The Paper Feeder can be used with all other optional printer devices except the Mini Paper Feeder. Attach the Duplex Unit directly below the Paper Feeder(s) for duplex printing. The Duplex Unit cannot be used with a Mini Paper Feeder.

Supported Page sizes for the Paper Feeder

 Envelope Feeder

The Envelope Feeder is an optional paper source designed to feed multiple envelopes. The Envelope Feeder's maximum envelope capacity is dependent on the thickness of the envelopes loaded. The height of the envelope stack should not exceed 40 mm (1.5 inches).

The Envelope Feeder must be installed on the printer and selected as a Device Option in the Device Settings tab to be used as a valid paper source.

Envelopes cannot be used with the Duplex Unit, the Sorter Stacker, or the Face Down Stacker.

The Envelope Feeder does not support Custom envelope sizes. Unsupported sizes may jam or damage the device.

 Duplex Unit

The Duplex Unit enables printing on both sides of a page. Install the Duplex Unit directly below the printer’s main body (beneath the Internal Cassette), or place beneath any optional Paper Feeders (if optional Feeders are attached). The Duplex Unit must be used in conjunction with a Paper Path Adapter and an Paper Handler, which assist paper movement.

To enable the Duplex Unit, select it as a Device Options in the Device Settings tab. Duplex printing can be utilized by selecting Print on Both Sides (Duplex) on the Layout tab.

The settings Flip on Long Edge and Flip on Short Edge refer to what page edge to turn to properly view the data on the other side. With a Flip on Long Edge setting, turn the long edge of the page to properly view the data, while with a Flip on Short Edge setting, turn the short edge.

For Duplex printing from the Multi-Purpose Feeder, set MP Tray to "First" on the printer’s front panel and set the Page size to match that of the current selection. If the page sizes differ, paper jams may occur. The MP tray must be set to the same page size and feed direction as set for the current cassette. A mismatch may result in a paper jam.

Some Media types are not supported by the Duplex Unit, and if used may result in paper jams and could cause possible damage to the Duplex Unit.

The Duplex Unit cannot be used with a Mini Paper Feeder. All other paper feeders are supported.
