Tray Selection Options

You can select a specific tray as the default media source or you can use tray chaining to automatically switch to another source for media when the current source is empty.

Selecting a Specific Tray

Use the Tray Select control key or your application’s options to select a specific tray as the media source. The Tray Select key allows you to scroll through tray options in the window. Options are man feed (multipurpose feeder), cassette (standard cassette), upper optional, and lower optional. The last two selections appear only if these optional trays are installed.

In most Macintosh applications, use the Print dialog box Paper Source options to specify the media tray.

The All pages from options allow you to choose a specific tray or use the printer’s default to print all pages of a job.

The First page from and Remaining from options allow you to specify one tray for the first page and a different tray for the rest of the print job.

In most PC applications, you can specify the media tray on the Paper Source tab of the Page Setup dialog box or on the Paper tab of the Print dialog box’s Properties section.

The AutoSelect Tray option directs the printer to use the media source that contains the paper size you selected in the file.

Other options (Cassette, Upper Optional Tray, Lower Optional Tray, and Manual feed) direct the printer to use a specific tray. Optional tray selections are valid only if these trays are installed.

Enabling Tray Chaining

Use the MISC:TRAY SWITCH configuration menu or your Print dialog box options to enable tray chaining. Your printer allows you to chain to all paper cassettes, the optional 2,000 sheet feeder, and the multipurpose feeder if the following conditions are met.
