Automatic Tray Switching

PostScript Tray Switching

P a p e r H a n d l i n g

Automatic tray switching is available for both PCL emulation and PostScript jobs. Tray switching is useful for:

•Increasing paper capacity.

When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the printer automatically switches to the next tray in the sequence, provided the paper size in the next tray is the same size as that in the current tray.

•Searching for the correct paper size.

If the paper size specified in your software application does not match the size paper loaded in the current paper tray, the printer automatically searches the next tray in the sequence for a paper size that matches.

The Tray Switching option (in the PostScript Menu) can be set to any of the settings shown in Table 2.2 below.
