Configure trays for paper type and size
By default, the product pulls paper from Tray 2. If Tray 2 is empty, the product pulls paper from Tray 1, or
Tray 3 if it is installed. Configuring a tray on this product changes the speed settings to obtain the best print
quality for the type of paper that you are using. If you are using special paper for all or most print jobs on the
product, change this default tray setting on the product.
The following table lists possible ways you can use the tray settings to meet your printing needs.
