Control print jobs

When a job is sent to the printer, the printer driver controls what paper tray is used to pull media through the printer. By default, the printer automatically selects the tray, but a specific tray can be chosen based on three user-specified settings: Source, Type, and Size. These settings are available from the Application Setting dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver.

Description

 

 

Source

Directs the printer to pull paper from a user-specified tray. The

 

printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size

 

media is loaded in it. To begin printing, load the selected tray

 

with the correct type or size of print media for the print job. After

 

loading the tray, the printer begins printing. If the printer does

 

not begin printing:

 

Verify the tray configuration matches the size or type of

 

 

the print job.

 

Press OK to have the printer try to print from another tray.

 

 

Type or Size

Directs the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray

 

that is loaded with the type or size that you selected. Always

print by Type for special print media such as labels or transparencies.
