Automatic Tray Switching

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 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.

Tray switching is made possible via the Tray Sequence item in the Control Panel’s Tray Menu. It enables grouping of Tray 1 in the printer, the MBF, and optional Trays 2 and 3 (if installed) into a variety of sequence combinations. Tray switching can also be turned off.

Following is a description of the settings and rules for using the Tray Sequence function, along with examples of its use. For more information on using the Control Panel to set Tray Sequence, refer to Chapter 3 of the System Administrator Guide.
