Linking trays

Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of print media in multiple sources.

For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in the paper tray and the optional paper drawer, the printer selects print media from the paper tray until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds print media from the next linked source—the optional drawer.

If you load the same size print media in each paper source, make sure the paper type is all the same type in order to link the trays.

To set the paper type or size:

1Press on the control panel.

2Press until Paper Menu appears, and then press .

3Press until Paper Size/Type appears, and then press .

4Press until Tray <x> Size/Type appears, and then press .

5Press until the appears next to the media size you loaded, and then press .

6Press until the media type you loaded appears, and then press .

7Press repeatedly to return to the Ready state.

Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of print media, select the same Paper Type setting in the Paper menu for these sources.

To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of print media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.

Sending a job to print

A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing the printer driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to the printer. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the printer control panel.

You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print box to see all of the available printer settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.

To support all the printer features, use the Lexmark custom printer drivers supplied with your printer. Updated drivers, as well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site. You can also use the system drivers built into your operating system.

To print a job from a typical Windows application:

1Open the file you want to print.

2From the “File” menu, select Print.

3Select the correct printer in the dialog. Modify the printer settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to print or the number of copies).

4Click Properties or Setup to adjust printer settings that were not available on the first screen, and then click OK.

5Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.
