It is best to select the paper source in your application program
because software settings usually override the printer’s control
panel settings. However, if you cannot select the paper source in
your application, press the
Tear Off/Bin button until the lights
indicate the bin you want as shown below. When the printer
receives data, the cut-sheet feeder automatically loads the paper
from the bin you select.

paper in the cut-sheet feeder

to eject them.
2. Move the printer’s paper release lever to the front or rear push
tractor position. Also set the paper thickness lever to the
proper position for your paper.
