This section explains how to configure the "Paper Selection" setting on the [Paper] tab of 
the printer driver properties window.
Before printing, check the paper sizes, paper types, and paper remaining in the machine's 
trays. To view the most recent tray information, click the [Tray Status] button.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"

The tray that has the size and type of paper selected in "Paper Size" and "Paper Type" on the [Paper] tab is 
automatically selected. 

• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Source"

The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting.
When [Bypass Tray] is selected
Also select the "Paper Type". Check the bypass tray and make sure that the desired type of paper is loaded, and then 
select the appropriate "Paper Type" setting.

• When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"

A tray with plain paper or recycled paper of the size specified in "Paper Size" is automatically selected. (The factory 
default setting is plain paper only.)

• When other than [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Type"

A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" is used for printing. 

• Special media such as envelopes can also be placed in the bypass tray. For the procedure for loading paper and other 

media in the bypass tray, see "LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY" in the User's Guide.

• When "Enable Detected Paper Size in Bypass Tray" (disabled by factory default) or "Enable Selected Paper Type in 

Bypass Tray" (enabled by factory default) is enabled in the system settings (administrator), 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.

System Settings (Administrator): Exclude Bypass-Tray from Auto Paper Select
When [Auto Select] is selected in "Paper Selection", specify whether or not the paper in the bypass tray will be excluded from 
the paper that can be selected. This setting is disabled by factory default, and thus paper in the bypass tray is included in the 
paper that can be automatically selected. If special types of paper are frequently loaded in the bypass tray, it is 
recommended that this setting be enabled.

When the user authentication function is enabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), your user information 
(login name, password, etc.) must be entered in the setup screen of the printer driver before you can print. The 
information that must be entered varies depending on the authentication method being used, so check with the 
administrator of the machine before printing.

The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Properties] or [Printing Preferences]) 
may vary depending on the software application.

• When authentication is by login name/password

Select the [Login Name] and [Password] 
checkboxes so that checkmarks 

 appear, and 

enter your login name and password. Enter 1 to 32 
characters for the password.

• When authentication is by user number

Click the [User Number] checkbox 

 and enter a 

user number (5 to 8 digits).

To have a confirmation window appear before printing starts, select the [Auto Job Control Review] checkbox so that a 
checkmark  

appears.

• Normally printing is possible without entering your user information. (In this case, the printed pages will be added to the 

"Others" count.) When printing by invalid users is prohibited in the system settings (administrator), printing is not permitted 
when user information is not entered or incorrect information is entered.

• The user authentication function of the machine cannot be used when the PPD file* is installed and the Windows standard 

PS printer driver is used. For this reason, printing will not be possible if printing by invalid users is prohibited in the system 
settings (administrator).
* The PPD file enables the machine to print using the standard PS printer driver of the operating system.

• When user authentication is enabled in the system settings (administrator) of the machine, the print function may restricted 

if printing is attempted without entering user information. For more information, see "User Control" in the System Settings 
Guide.

System Settings (Administrator): Disable Printing by Invalid User
This is used to prohibit printing of print jobs by users whose user information is not stored in the machine. When this function 
is enabled, printing is not allowed when user information is not entered or incorrect information is entered.

When selecting settings in the printer driver, you can display Help to view explanations of the settings.

To view Help for a setting, click the 

 button in the upper right-hand corner of the window and then click the setting.

You can also view the same Help by right-clicking the setting and clicking the Help box that appears.

Some restrictions exist on the combinations of settings that can be selected in the printer driver properties window. 
When a restriction exists on the selected setting, an information icon (

) will appear next to the setting. Click the icon 

to view an explanation of the restriction.

The button that is used to open the printer driver properties window (usually [Properties] or [Printing Preferences]) 
may vary depending on the software application.
