Reserving or Locking Out the MP Tray or
Paper Cassettes
You can reserve, or lock out, paper cassettes that hold special papers from
other users. Reserve one or more cassettes (including the MP Tray) by
locking them out from the paper selection process through the printer’s
control panel. (Your software application can override these settings.)
The following procedure configures the MP Tray as a cassette, then locks
out the MP Tray so it is a protected source of Letterhead, a preprinted form,
or colored paper. Lock out any other paper cassette or combination of
cassettes the same way.
To reserve or lock out a cassette:
1 From the printer’s control panel, press [On Line] to take the printer off line.
2 Press [Menu] until CONFIG MENU appears.
3 Press [Item] until MP TRAY=setting appears.
4 Press [+/–] until MP TRAY=CASS appears, then press [Enter].
5 Press [Item] until LOCK=SETTING appears.
6 Press [+/-] until LOCK=MP appears, then press [Enter] to save your selection.
7 Press [On Line] to place the printer back on line.
8 Press [MP Paper Size], then select the size of paper you have in the MP Tray
(by pressing the [+/- ), then press [Enter] to save your selection.
9 Place a stack of paper into the MP Tray with side-to-be-printed down. Load
Letter or A4 paper with the top of the page placed toward the left side of the
printer. Load legal, 11x17, and A3 paper with top of page leading into the
printer.
The MP Tray is now locked out from its default selection.
