Unlinking trays

Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray. To unlink a tray using the Paper menu, change the Paper Type and Paper Size settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray.

1From the Paper menu, make sure the Type setting (for example, Plain Paper, letterhead, Custom Type <x>) for the tray you want to unlink does not match the Type setting of any other tray.

If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type <x>, or assign your own custom name.

2Make sure the Size setting (for example, letter, A4, statement) for the tray you want to unlink does not match the Size setting of any other tray.

Note: Paper Size settings are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper menu.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper loaded in the tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Paper may not be properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.
