Configuring Input Trays

This printer allows you to configure input trays by type and size. This allows you to load different media types and sizes in the printer’s input trays and then request media by type or size.

When the printer is used as a standalone printer, it might be beneficial to configure the printer as TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST. In this mode, if media is loaded in Tray 1 and no other tray is specified, media will be pulled from Tray 1 regardless of the type or size of media loaded in the tray.

When the printer is used in a network environment, it might be beneficial to configure Tray 1 as TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE. In this mode, the tray acts as a cassette-style tray and can then be configured for media type and size.

Note

When Tray 1 is in FIRST mode, be sure that the media loaded meets

 

the specifications for duplex printing. (See the supported media weights

 

and sizes section earlier in this chapter.)
