Media tray settings

You can control the source of a print job from your computer. The media tray choices available in your application menus depend on the number and types of trays you have in use, the type of driver you have installed from the printerÕs CD-ROM, and the printerÕs default setting.

AutoSelect If this selection appears in your menu, it acts as the default. The printer automatically prints from the upper tray if you are printing in a single-tray conÞguration. If you have a Lower Paper Tray Assembly, it prints from the lower tray. If you have trays in both slots, the printer automatically switches to the other tray if one of the trays runs out of paper.

Paper This is the initial setting for Windows drivers. If you select Paper and the standard media tray is installed, the printer will print on whatever media is loaded in the upper tray. If you have the Lower Paper Tray Assembly installed, selecting Paper feeds paper from the lower tray. If you select Paper and the transparency tray is installed, the printer will not print and will prompt you to load paper.

Transparency Select Transparency whenever you print transparencies. If you use a dedicated transparency tray, you can print from your computer. If you print transparencies from the standard paper tray, you must conÞrm the print selection at the printerÕs front panel. Refer to page 4-14 for directions on printing transparencies from the standard paper tray.

Manual Paper Select Manual Paper when you wish to hand feed single sheets of paper or card stock (up to 220 g/m2 [80 lb.]). Select this option from your computer, then feed the paper into the printer when prompted by the front panel. Refer to ÒWhen to use the manual-feed slotÓ on page 4-16 for more details on using manual feed.

Manual Transparency Select Manual Transparency to hand feed single transparency sheets into the printer. Refer to ÒWhen to use the manual-feed slotÓ on page 4-16 for more details on using manual feed.

Upper/Lower Use these settings to change printing trays if you have installed the optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly. See ÒChanging the default media tray settingÓ on page 4-10.
