Automatic Tray Switching
With automatic tray switching (available for both PCL and PostScript jobs), you can group two or more input trays together into one logical tray. You specify the order in which the trays will be searched to satisfy a print request.
Tray switching is useful for:
■Increasing paper capacity.
When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the printer automatically switches to the next tray in the sequence, provided the paper size and type in the next tray is the same size and type as that in the current tray.
■Searching for the correct paper size and type.
If the paper size and type specified in your software application do not match the paper loaded in the current paper tray, the printer automatically searches the next tray in the sequence for a paper size and type that match.
■Loading paper in one tray while printing from another tray (filling an empty tray while printing).
