Configuring Automatic TraySwitching
1-116 ❖System Administrator Guide
The fourth column of Table1.33 defines which paper size
and paper type to use based on fully or partially specified
paper selection parameters. After the type and size are
determined, the next step is to determine which paper
tray to use to satisfy the request. If the request can be
satisfied by one of the currently configured trays, then the
appropriate paper tray is used. (Note that the fourth
column of Table1.33 does not list a paper source to use,
even though the paper source may be specified.)
• If the paper source is specified, and the other
parameters can be satisfied by that paper source, then
the specified source is used.
• If the specified source cannot satisfy the request, but
another source can satisfy the paper size and type
requested, then that alternate source is used, with no
operator intervention required.
• If the specified source cannot satisfy the request, but
another source can satisfy the request but is out of
paper, then the operator is prompted to load paper in
the empty tray that can satisfy the request.
