# CHECKING PAPER TRAY SETTING

## Overview

This section explains how to configure [Paper Feed] settings in the print settings window.
If [Auto Select] ([Auto] in Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.7) is selected
A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" of the Page Setup window is automatically selected to print data. (The factory default setting is plain paper only.)
When a paper tray is specified
Data is printed on the paper loaded in the specified tray regardless of the "Paper Size" setting in the Page Setup window.
For the bypass tray, also specify the paper type. Check that the paper type that is set for the bypass tray of the machine, check that paper of that type has been loaded into the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate bypass tray (paper type).
If the paper type is specified
Data is printed from the tray that contains the specified type of paper based on the size specified in "Paper Size" in the Page Setup window.
Special media can also be placed in the bypass tray.
For the procedure for loading paper into the bypass tray, see "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 (administrator)" → [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] ([Auto] in Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or 10.7) is selected:

In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Printer Settings] → [Default Settings] → [Bypass Tray Settings] → [Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select].
