How do I automatically print a document that has different paper sizes?

You can set the Brother machine to automatically select the appropriate paper tray based on the paper size.

If you select 'Auto Select' as the Paper Source, the application will automatically print from the appropriate tray based on the document's paper size. For this feature to work, the tray settings must be defined from the machine's control panel, the printer driver must be configured properly, and the paper size must be configured properly within the document's properties. Auto Select is the default setting of the printer driver.

1. Verify the paper size and type you wish to print on can be used in the paper tray you are loading the paper in. Refer to the solution - What size and type of paper is recommended for use in my Brother machine?

2. Set the Paper Size on the control panel for each paper tray.

  1. Press the UP orDOWN ARROW key to select Paper Tray. Press OK.
  1. Press the UP orDOWN ARROW key to select Tray1 Size or Tray2 Size* and press OK.

NOTE: Tray2 Size is only available if the second paper tray has been installed.

  1. Press UP orDOWN ARROW key to select the paper size that is loaded in the tray and then press OK to save the setting. The display will read 'Accepted'.
  1. Press CANCEL to exit the menu.
  1. Repeat STEP 3 for each paper tray.
