Example: Lower Tray-Main Tray

Suppose you have a lower tray installed and you want to maximize the paper supply. But you also want to print special paper, such as envelopes or labels, through the front tray.

Table 2.7 below illustrates how to set the Source Mapping settings so that the printer switches between the lower and main trays as one tray becomes empty, yet leaves the front tray available.

When using the settings in Table 2.7, choose Upper, Lower, or Large Capacity (or an equivalent paper source, as shown in Table 2.3 on page 2-14) to engage tray switching. To print a job on special paper, choose Manual, Manual Envelope, or Envelope Feeder as the paper source in your application.
