Printing a Page

When a print job is received by the printer, the sequence to

select the paper tray for each page is as follows:

 

 

1. Page size is established.

 

If page size is not sent by the application, the PCL Menu

 

setting called Paper Size is used.

 

2. Paper source is established.

 

If a paper source is sent by the application, it will be one

 

of the six PCL paper sources listed in Figure 2.10

 

(page 2-22).

 

If paper source is not sent by the application, the PCL

 

Menu setting called Default Source is used. Some

 

software applications have a paper source called “Auto

 

Select” or “Auto Sheet Feed.” When used, this results in

 

a PCL paper source being omitted from the print job.

 

3. When the printer is ready to print the page, tray sequence

 

is established.

 

For the paper source chosen in the second step above, a

 

tray or sequence of trays is taken from the PCL Menu

 

Source Mapping setting for that source. For settings, see

 

Figure 2.11 (page 2-25).

 

4. The printer searches in the tray or in any tray in the tray

 

sequence for the correct page size from the first step

 

above.

 

In a tray sequence, the trays are searched left to right as

 

they appear in the Source Mapping setting. For example,

 

for sequence “Std-Low-MP”, the standard tray is

 

searched first, the lower tray second, and the MP tray

 

third. The MP paper size is taken from the PCL Menu

 

setting called MP Tray Size.

 

5. If a tray with the correct paper size is found, the page is

 

printed from that tray.

 

If no tray with the correct paper size is found, the tray

 

sequence and paper size are displayed on the Control
