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 Pa per Type and Paper Size settings so that they do n ot match the sett ings of any oth er tray.
1From the Paper menu, make sure the Type setting (for exa mple, 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 lin ked trays, assign a different Paper Type name t o the tray,
such as Custom Type <x>, or assign y our 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 m ay not be
properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is sele cted.
