When you choose, for example, “Main Tray” or “Paper Tray” as the paper source in your application, the PCL data stream tells the printer to print using paper from the “Upper” paper source.

The printer’s Source Mapping option maps the PCL paper source command to the paper trays on the printer. If, for example, the “Upper” source is mapped to the printer’s main tray, the printer will feed paper from the main tray whenever you choose “Upper,” “Main Tray,” or “Paper Cassette” in your application.

Table 2.4 lists the Source Mapping settings that can be set for each of the PCL paper sources in Table 2.3.
