Customizing tray 1 operation
The printer can be set to print from tray 1 as long as it is loaded, or to
print only from tray 1 if the type of paper loaded is specifically
requested. Set
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
or
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
in
the Paper Handling Menu at the printer control panel (see “Paper
Handling Menu” on page 210).
Setting Explanation
TRAY 1
MODE=FIRST
Means that the printer usually pulls paper from
tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed. If you do not
keep paper in tray 1 all the time, or you use tray 1
only for manually feeding paper, keep the default
setting of
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
in the Paper
Handling Menu.
TRAY 1
MODE=CASSETTE
Means that the printer treats tray 1 like trays 2, 3,
and 4. Instead of looking for paper in tray 1 first, the
printer pulls paper from the tray that matches type
and size settings selected from the software.
When
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
is set, an option
appears in the Paper Handling Menu to configure
size
as well as
type
settings for tray 1.
Through the printer driver, you can select paper
from any tray (including tray 1) by type, size, or
source. To print by type and size of paper, see
“Printing by type and size of paper (locking trays)”
on page 70.
