Changing the default media tray setting
These instructions apply if you install the optional Lower Paper Tray
Assembly.
Default setting
When the Lower Paper Tray Assembly is Þrst installed, the default media
tray selection is set to AutoSelect. With this setting, the printer
automatically prints from the lower paper tray. In addition, note the
following: When the lower paper tray becomes empty, the printer then
automatically switches to the upper tray. If a paper tray is installed in the upper
tray slot, then the printer prints on whatever media is loaded in the upper
tray. However, if a transparency tray is installed, then the printer prompts
you to load paper in the Lower Paper Tray Assembly.
Changing to Upper and Lower settings
When you add the Lower Paper Tray Assembly to your printer, you may
want to change the default media tray setting. By resetting the default, you
override the printerÕs automatic switching from the lower paper tray to the
upper tray when the Lower Paper Tray Assembly runs out of paper. If you
set the default selection to Lower, the printer will automatically print from
the Lower Paper Tray Assembly until otherwise instructed. When you want
to print from the upper tray, for example, to print letterhead or labels, you
then change the paper source or media tray setting to Upper from your
computer. Always explicitly select Transparency to print transparencies
from an upper tray.
To reset the default media tray:
■ From the printerÕs front panel, Þrst select the Printer Defaults
menu. Next select
Default Tray and then make your selection.
Refer to page 6-3 for information on using the front panel controls.
■ Use a PostScript utility Þle. Refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM for
more information on downloading utility Þles.
Note
When using a supported printer driver, settings from your
software application override the printer’s default media tray
setting.
