This section explains how to change mode for the MP (multi-purpose) tray, the paper size 
and type for each paper source, mode for the option sorter, and how to select the paper 
source and paper destinations.

The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassette or First. The MP tray 
feed paper differently depending on the mode:

•

Cassette Mode (default)

The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper source. The printer can correctly 
feed paper from any paper source as you command on the printer driver. The cassette 
mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode. 

•

First Mode

The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper 
source that is selected on the printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have 
been used up (approximately 150 sheets), paper will be fed from the paper source 
originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type 
without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if 
you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.

To switch the MP tray to First mode, proceed as follows:
