Setting paper-handling options

When the standard paper cassette runs out of paper, the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS can automatically switch and use paper from another paper source, such as the multipurpose tray (if you tell the printer that the tray contains the same size paper). This lets you continue printing without reloading paper. If you have the optional 250-sheet feeder, and it contains the same size paper, automatic tray switching includes it as a paper source. Combining all three paper sources lets you print up to 600 sheets without reloading paper.

An X means the printer looks for paper in any available paper source (including the multipurpose tray when the paper size matches).

You see a list of job default categories.

Open the Paper Handling category.

In the panel that appears, click the checkbox to turn Automatic Tray Switching on or off.

Choose the size of paper in the multipurpose tray.

(If you print jobs that use a different size paper, the printer avoids the multipurpose tray.)

4Use the pop-up menu to choose a default paper size for the multipurpose tray.

If you turn on the automatic tray switching feature (in step 3), the printer draws paper from any paper source that holds the correct size paper. However, the printer is not able to detect the size of paper you may have placed in the multipurpose tray, so you must tell it. If the paper size for the multipurpose tray is the same as the paper in the standard paper cassette (and automatic tray switching is turned on), the printer automatically uses the multipurpose tray as a paper source.
