When an optional Tray 3 Assembly is installed, it replaces Tray 2 as the second default source in the printing order. As long as Tray 1 settings have not been changed the printer will now print on media in the following order:

Media Source

 

Default Printing Priority

 

 

 

Tray 1

1

(first)

 

 

 

Tray 3

2

(second)

 

 

 

Tray 2

3

(third)

 

 

 

For example, assuming all paper sizes are the same, if you send a job to the printer and Tray 1 is empty, the printer prints the job from Tray 3 unless you specify otherwise. If Tray 3 is also empty, the printer prints the job from Tray 2.

For best results, always fill the tray to the arrows in the middle of the

 

paper length bracket (see step 3 on the next page). Overfilling the tray

 

will cause paper jams.

 

When loading the printer with a new size or weight of media, be sure to

 

adjust the (C) paper size and (D) tension control. See the following pages

 

for instructions on adjusting the spring tension on the Tray 3 Assembly.
