Hi daber,

When using your PIXMA TR8520a to make copies, to select where the paper feeds from, please follow these steps:

1.  Turn you PIXMA TR8520a on.

2.  Tap Copy.

3.  Tap Standard Copy.

4.  Tap Settings.

5.  Scroll down to, and then tap, Paper src.

6.  Choose the location from where you wish the paper to feed from.  If you wish the plain paper to feed from the front tray, please choose Cassette.

7.  Press the Black or Color Start button to begin copying.

Hi daber,

Once you set the source, you will not have to set it again.  You can then perform the copy as you were used to doing.
