Tray sequence examples
The following examples discuss what the printer does when you use various tray sequence
settings.

Paper size/type mismatch

Paper size/type mismatch occurs when the requested size is not available in the printer.
This can be caused by running out of paper in a tray that is configured for the requested
paper, or by requesting a paper that is not configured in the printer. The printer goes
off line under paper mismatch conditions. It automatically returns on-line and continues
printing once you resolve the paper mismatch condition.
If a tray is configured for the requested paper, but the tray is out of paper, the control panel
display screen prompts you to load the requested paper (size and type) in the appropriate
tray. Once you load the paper in the tray, printing continues.
If the request is for paper that is not configured in the printer, the control panel display
screen prompts you to load the requested paper in the first tray of the tray sequence.
Condition Actions taken
The Tray Sequence is 1-2.
All trays are configured for Letter paper,
but there is no paper in Tray 1.
You request Letter paper with the source set to
Auto.
Since Tray 1 is empty, paper is fed from Tray2
until it becomes empty. When Tray 2 becomes
empty, a load paper message is displayed on the
control panel. Although Tray 3 contains letter
paper, this tray is not searched since it is not part
of the Tray Sequence.
The Tray Sequence is 1-2-3.
You request Tray 2.
All trays meet the size/type requirement.
The printer feeds paper from Tray 2, because it
meets the size and type requested. When Tray2
becomes empty, the printer feeds from Tray1 and
then Tray 3.
The Tray Sequence is 2-3.
Trays 1 and 2 contain Letter paper, but both
trays are empty.
Tray 3 contains Legal paper.
You request Legal paper from Tray 2.
The printer feeds from Tray 3, because it is the
only tray that meets the size nd type requested.
The Tray Sequence is MBF-1-2.

All trays contain Letter paper.
You request Legal paper from Tray 2.
The printer prompts you to load legal paper in the
