Customizing tray 1 operation

The printer can be set to print from tray 1 as long as it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the type of paper loaded is specifically requested. Set TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST or TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE in the Paper Handling Menu at the printer control panel (see “Paper Handling Menu” on page 210).

SettingExplanation

TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST

Means that the printer usually pulls paper from tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed. If you do not keep paper in tray 1 all the time, or you use tray 1 only for manually feeding paper, keep the default setting of TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST in the Paper Handling Menu.

TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE

Means that the printer treats tray 1 like trays 2, 3, and 4. Instead of looking for paper in tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper from the tray that matches type and size settings selected from the software.

When TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE is set, an option appears in the Paper Handling Menu to configure size as well as type settings for tray 1.

Through the printer driver, you can select paper from any tray (including tray 1) by type, size, or source. To print by type and size of paper, see “Printing by type and size of paper (locking trays)” on page 70.
