Configure trays
By default, the product pulls paper from the priority input slot. If the priority input slot is empty, the product pulls paper from Tray 1. Configuring Tray 1 on this product changes the heat and speed settings to obtain the best print quality for the type of paper that you are using. If you are using special paper for all or most print jobs on the product, change this default setting on the product.
The following table lists possible ways you can use the tray settings to meet your printing needs.
