Automatic Tray
Switching
Automatic tray switching, available for both PCL and
PostScript jobs, enables you to group two or more input
trays together into one logical tray, and in a specific order
in which the trays will be searched to satisfy an input
request. Tray switching is useful for:
• Increasing paper capacity.
When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the
printer automatically switches to the next tray in the
sequence, provided the paper size and type in the next
tray is the same size and type as that in the current
tray.
• Searching for the correct paper size and type.
If the paper size and type specified in your software
application does not match the size paper loaded in
the current paper tray, the printer automatically
searches the next tray in the sequence for a paper size
and type that matches.
• Loading paper in one tray while printing from another
tray (filling an empty tray while printing).
Tray switching is made possible via the Tray Sequence
item in the Control Panel’s Tray Menu. It enables
grouping of Trays 1 and 2 in the printer, the 50 Sheet
Bypass Feeder, and Trays 3, 4, and 5 in the 2,500 Sheet
Feeder (if installed) into a variety of sequence
combinations. Tray switching can also be turned off.
The 50 Sheet Bypass Feeder is referred to as the MBF (for
Multiple Bypass Feeder) in the Control Panel’s Tray Sequence
settings.
