Select On to give printing priority to paper loaded in the paper tray.

Select On to feed paper from the paper source set as A4 size when there is no paper source set as Letter, or feed from the paper source set as Letter size when there is no paper source set as A4.

If you are copying, printing, or receiving faxes while the paper source selection is set to automatic and paper runs out, paper is automatically fed from another paper source that has the same paper settings assigned. In this menu, you can enable automatic selection for each paper source within each function (copy, fax, etc.). If you use the automatic selection setting, you cannot disable all of the paper sources.

This setting is disabled when you select a specific paper source in the paper settings for a print job. Depending on the paper type setting on the Main tab of the printer driver, paper may not be fed automatically.

Enable this to feed paper automatically from another paper source that has paper when paper runs out. This applies when copying or printing from a storage device. Paper is not feed automatically from a paper source that has not been selected in Auto Select Settings or that has different paper settings from the specified paper source.

When this is enabled, the printer automatically detects the paper size you loaded.

When you use this setting, it may cause issues with automatic paper size detection or the printer may print past the paper edges.

  When a 2-sided printing error occurs, the printer displays a warning and prints in single-sided mode. When a memory full error occurs, the printer prints the portion of the job that it was able to process.

• Off

  Displays an error message and cancels printing.

Select Enable to allow the printer to access an inserted memory device. If Disable is selected, you cannot read, print data in the memory device, or save data to the memory device with the printer. This prevents confidential documents from being removed illegally.

• Mode1/Mode2

  Prevent ink from smearing on your printouts. Raise the mode number to increase the effect. Selecting these settings may reduce print speed.

Select On to reduce problems that occur when feeding thick paper and envelopes and the issue of slanted printing on plain paper.

However this may lower the print speed.

If ejection operation sounds are too loud during paper ejection, set this mode to On. However, this may lower print speed. Also, when printing density is high, shift sort is being performed, or stapling is being performed, the printer automatically aligns the paper and may not be able to reduce the noise level during paper ejection. When this setting is enabled, the accuracy of the alignment of the ejected paper will be reduced.

Select Mode 2 to reduce the paper ejection noise. Depending on the paper quality, printing data with multiple images or photos may cause paper jams when using Mode 2. If the paper jams, change to Mode 1.

This setting is only available when the Quiet Mode is enabled and the staple finisher-P2 is installed.

Select On to allow the printer to adjust the printing speed based on the paper type and print data conditions. This helps to prevent print quality decline and paper jams.

Select Enable to allow a computer to access the printer when connected by USB. When Disable is selected, printing and scanning that is not sent over a network connection is restricted.

Specify the length of time in seconds that must elapse before ending USB communication with a computer after the printer receives a print job from a PostScript printer driver or PCL printer driver. If the job ending is not clearly defined from a PostScript printer driver or PCL printer driver, it can cause endless USB communication. When this occurs, the printer ends communication after the specified time has elapsed. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want to end communication.
