Turning Tray Switching On or Off
Situation: You want to turn tray switching on or off. Tray switching specifies whether
or not to switch to another paper tray if the current one is empty. When switching is
ON (the default value) the printer automatically looks in other trays for the right size of
paper if the current tray does not contain the paper size specified by the job. OFF
specifies no switching.
