Click 

 next to [Copies & Pages] and select the 

settings that you wish to configure from the 
pull-down menu. The corresponding setting 
screen will appear. 
If the settings do not appear in Mac OS X v10.5, 
10.6 and 10.7, click "

" next to the printer name.

Printing begins.

This section explains the [Paper Feed] settings in the print settings window.

• When [Auto Select] is selected

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

• When a paper tray is selected

The specified tray is used for printing regardless of the "Paper Size" setting in the page settings window.
For the bypass tray, a paper type can also be specified. Make sure that the paper type setting for the bypass tray 
is correct and that the set type of paper is actually loaded in the bypass tray, and then select the appropriate 
bypass tray (paper type).

• When a paper type is selected

A tray with the specified type of paper and the size specified in "Paper Size" in the page settings window 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 

• 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.

The bypass tray can be used to print on special media such as envelopes. The procedure for printing on an 
envelope from the printer driver properties screen is described below.
For the types of paper that can be used in the bypass tray, see "PAPER" (P.16). For the procedure for loading paper 
in the bypass tray, see "Loading the bypass tray" (P.20).
Select the envelope size in the appropriate settings of the application ("Page Settings" in many applications) and 
then perform the following steps.

Select the envelope size from the "Paper Size" menu on the page setup screen.

Set the bypass tray paper type to [Envelope] in the machine’s “Paper Type Setup”, and make sure that an envelope is 
loaded in the bypass tray.

In the case of media that can only be loaded in a certain orientation such as an envelope, you can rotate the 
image 180 degrees if needed. For more information, see "ROTATING THE PRINT IMAGE 180 DEGREES 
(Rotate 180 degrees)" (P.62)".

It is recommended that you do a test print to check the print result before using an envelope.

When the user authentication function is enabled in the machine's system settings (administrator), you must enter 
your user number in order to print. 

In Mac OS X v10.4, select [Job Handling].

When authentication is by user number

Enter your user number (5 digits) in "User 
Number".

• User Name

Enter your user name (maximum of 32 
characters). Your entered user name will 
appear at the top of the operation panel. If you 
do not enter a user name, your computer login 
name will appear.

• Job  Name

Enter a job name (maximum of 30 characters). 
The entered job name will appear at the top of 
the operation panel as a file name. If you do not 
enter a job name, the file name set in the 
software application will appear.

The menu used to execute printing may vary 
depending on the software application.

Depending on the OS, the machine name 
that appears in the "Printer" menu is 
[MX-xxxx]. ("xxxx" is a sequence of 
characters that varies depending on the 
machine model.)

You can click the 

 (lock) button after 

entering your login name and password, or 
user number, to simplify operation the next 
time you wish to print based on the same 
user authentication.

"Disable Print by Inv. User" can be enabled in the machine's system settings (Administrator) to prohibit print jobs of 
users whose user information is not stored in the machine.

This section explains frequently used functions.

• "SELECTING THE COLOUR MODE" (P.52)
• "TWO-SIDED PRINTING" (P.55)

• "FITTING THE PRINT IMAGE TO THE PAPER" 

• "PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE" 

The explanations assume that the paper size and other basic settings have already been selected. For the basic 
procedure for printing and the steps for opening the printer driver properties window, see the following section:

• Windows :  "BASIC PRINTING PROCEDURE" (P.41)
• Macintosh :  "BASIC PRINTING PROCEDURE" (P.48)

This section explains how to select the colour mode in the printer driver properties window. The following three 
selections are available for the colour mode:

Automatic:

The machine automatically determines whether each page is colour or black and white and prints 

the page accordingly. Pages with colours other than black and white are printed using 
Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are 
printed using Bk (Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a document that has both 
colour and black and white pages, however, the printing speed is slower.

Color:

All pages are printed in colour. Both colour data and black and white data are printed using 

Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner.

Black and White:

All pages are printed in black and white. Colour data such as images or materials for a 

presentation are printed using black toner only. This mode helps conserve colour toner when you 
do not need to print in colour, such as when proofreading or checking the layout of a document.

In Windows, view printer driver Help for details on printer driver settings for each printing function.

Even if the print result is black and white, the following types of print jobs will be counted as 4-colour (Y (Yellow), 
M (Magenta), C (Cyan), and Bk (Black)) print jobs. To be always counted as a black and white job, select [Black and 
White].
• When the data is created as colour data.
• When the application treats the data as colour data even though the data is black and white.
• When an image is hidden under a black and white image.
