Chapter 3 Printer Configuration

Tray Linking
With tray linking enabled, when the active cut sheet paper tray
(cassette) runs out of paper, the printer switches automatically to
the other cut sheet paper tray, and continues printing. The default is
disable.
NOTE: We recommend that you disable Tray Linking if the two cut
sheet paper trays are of different sizes.
If the cut sheet trays are of different sizes, and Tray Linking
is enabled, the printer will not switch to the alternate tray
when the first tray runs out of paper. The printer also will
not display the usual “CUT-SHEET PAPER EMPTY”
message on the LCD. Instead, the printer stops printing
and displays the message “TRAY MISMATCH.”
To clear this message, either add paper to the active tray,
or insert a matching tray in the alternate tray position.
Press CLEAR on the control panel.
Variable Tray Width
With Variable Tray Width, it is possible to override the standard cut
sheet paper tray widths. The standard cut sheet paper sizes are
listed in the following table. Using Custom Tray Width and modified
paper trays, it is possible to use non-standard paper stock that is a
different width than standard paper widths.
You can independently adjust the upper and lower tray widths in
the menus. To adjust the width of the top tray, select Upper Tray
Width from the Variable Tray Width menu. To adjust the width of
the bottom tray, select Lower Tray Width from the Variable Tray
Width menu. Each tray width is adjustable from 7.0 inches to 12.0
inches, in 0.1 inch increments.
NOTE: The Variable Tray Width feature requires modified paper
trays. Do not change the Variable Tray Width menu
settings unless you are using a modified paper tray.
Also, you cannot modify the width for a standard cut sheet
tray. The width depends on the cassette paper size and is
recognized by the printer using the paper size detector
sensors.
