Media tray settings
You can control the source of a print job from your computer. The media
tray choices available in your application menus depend on the number and
types of trays you have in use, the type of driver you have installed from the
printerÕs CD-ROM, and the printerÕs default setting.
AutoSelect If this selection appears in your menu, it acts as the default. The
printer automatically prints from the upper tray if you are printing in a
single-tray conÞguration. If you have a Lower Paper Tray Assembly, it
prints from the lower tray. If you have trays in both slots, the printer
automatically switches to the other tray if one of the trays runs out of paper.
Paper This is the initial setting for Windows drivers. If you select Paper and
the standard media tray is installed, the printer will print on whatever
media is loaded in the upper tray. If you have the Lower Paper Tray
Assembly installed, selecting Paper feeds paper from the lower tray. If you
select Paper and the transparency tray is installed, the printer will not print
and will prompt you to load paper.
Transparency Select Transparency whenever you print transparencies. If
you use a dedicated transparency tray, you can print from your computer. If
you print transparencies from the standard paper tray, you must conÞrm the
print selection at the printerÕs front panel. Refer to page 4-14 for directions
on printing transparencies from the standard paper tray.
Manual Paper Select Manual Paper when you wish to hand feed single
sheets of paper or card stock (up to 220 g/m
2
[80 lb.]). Select this option
from your computer, then feed the paper into the printer when prompted by
the front panel. Refer to ÒWhen to use the manual-feed slotÓ on page 4-16
for more details on using manual feed.
Manual Transparency Select Manual Transparency to hand feed single
transparency sheets into the printer. Refer to ÒWhen to use the manual-feed
slotÓ on page 4-16 for more details on using manual feed.
Upper/Lower Use these settings to change printing trays if you have
installed the optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly. See ÒChanging the
default media tray settingÓ on page 4-10.
