Customizing Tray 1 Operation

Customize Tray 1 to fit your printing needs.

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 from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel. (Print speed might be slightly slower when printing from Tray 1 when TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST.)

Tray 1 Mode=First

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, TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST in the Paper Handling Menu.

•TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST means that the printer usually pulls paper from Tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed.

•You can still choose paper from other trays by specifically choosing another tray in the printer driver.

Tray 1 Mode=Cassette

TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE means the printer treats Tray 1 like the internal trays. Instead of looking for paper in Tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper either starting from the bottom tray upward (from the tray with the highest capacity to the tray with the least capacity), or the tray that matches type or 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 page 60.
