Changing the default media tray setting

These instructions apply if you install the optional Lower Paper Tray

Assembly.

Default setting

When the Lower Paper Tray Assembly is Þrst installed, the default media tray selection is set to AutoSelect. With this setting, the printer automatically prints from the lower paper tray. In addition, note the following: When the lower paper tray becomes empty, the printer then automatically switches to the upper tray. If a paper tray is installed in the upper tray slot, then the printer prints on whatever media is loaded in the upper tray. However, if a transparency tray is installed, then the printer prompts you to load paper in the Lower Paper Tray Assembly.

Changing to Upper and Lower settings

When you add the Lower Paper Tray Assembly to your printer, you may want to change the default media tray setting. By resetting the default, you override the printerÕs automatic switching from the lower paper tray to the upper tray when the Lower Paper Tray Assembly runs out of paper. If you set the default selection to Lower, the printer will automatically print from the Lower Paper Tray Assembly until otherwise instructed. When you want to print from the upper tray, for example, to print letterhead or labels, you then change the paper source or media tray setting to Upper from your computer. Always explicitly select Transparency to print transparencies from an upper tray.

To reset the default media tray:

■From the printerÕs front panel, Þrst select the Printer Defaults menu. Next select Default Tray and then make your selection. Refer to page 6-3 for information on using the front panel controls.

■Use a PostScript utility Þle. Refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM for more information on downloading utility Þles.

Note When using a supported printer driver, settings from your software application override the printer’s default media tray setting.
