You can also determine whether the printer displays a prompt asking you if it can pull paper from tray 1 if it cannot find the type and size you requested in another tray. You can set the printer to always prompt you before pulling from tray 1 or only prompt you if tray 1 is empty. Set the USE REQUESTED TRAY setting on the System Setup submenu of the Configure Device menu. See “USE REQUESTED TRAY” on page 162.
