When the specified tray runs out of paper, the machine can continue to print from another tray if paper of the same paper size and weight is loaded in the paper cassettes (Tray 1/2/3 and Tray 4) and the MP tray.
To use this function, enable the auto tray switching function on the touch panel first. Then, set the auto tray switching function with the printer driver.
Note
Be sure to set the same values (paper size, media type, media weight) for each tray used for the auto tray switch function. Available paper sizes vary depending on the tray.
