Customizing optional Tray 1 operation

Customize optional Tray 1 to fit your printing needs.

The printer can be set to print from optional Tray 1:

When the tray is loaded and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY SIZE and TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY TYPE; (formerly First mode). Print speed might be slower than normal.

Only when the type of paper loaded is specifically requested and TRAY 1 SIZE=a specific size and TRAY 1 TYPE=a specific type (formerly Cassette mode).

Printing from optional Tray 1 when the loaded paper is requested

When TRAY 1 SIZE=a specific size and TRAY 1 TYPE=a specific type (formerly Cassette mode), the printer treats optional Tray 1 like the internal trays. Instead of looking for paper in optional Tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper starting either from the bottom tray upward or starting with the tray that matches type or size settings selected in the program from which you are printing.

From the program or the Print dialog box, select the type and size for a tray, if possible. If not, set the type and size from the printer control panel. (See Specifying paper to print on.)

When TRAY 1 SIZE=a specific size and TRAY 1 TYPE=a specific type is set at the printer control panel, an option appears in the PAPER HANDLING menu to configure size as well as type settings for optional Tray 1.

Manually feeding paper from optional Tray 1

The manual feed feature is another way of printing special paper from optional Tray 1, such as envelopes or letterhead.
