Tray Locking

Tray Locking is a feature that allows you to “lock” a tray so that the only time the printer will draw from that tray is when it is specifically requested. This is useful when you want to put special paper in a tray, such as letterhead. For example, if you are using “First Available Tray,” for the paper source and you lock Tray 1, the printer will only draw from the remaining trays, either Tray 2 or optional Tray 3, if it is installed. You can still print from the locked tray, but you must specify the source.

Note

 

The feature will not allow you to lock all the trays. One tray must be

 

“unlocked.”
