Selecting a Paper Source

For a print job, your software application sends information, called the Printer Control Language (PCL), to the printer to communicate paper source and page size. How the printer interprets the PCL command for paper source and page size depends on the printer menu settings for Source Mapping and MBF Paper Size. If PCL commands for paper source and page size are not sent to the printer, the printer menu settings for Paper Size and Default Source are used. See

Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for further information on these and all PCL Menu settings (page 3-15).

PostScript functions differently than PCL. Refer to the

PostScript Installation Instructions for more information.

Note

PCL Paper Sources	Paper source is a term that describes the tray, feeder, or slot
	from which the printer feeds paper.
	PCL, and therefore your printer, recognizes the six paper
	sources shown in Figure 2.16, which may, or may not, appear
	in your software application.
