Setting paper-handling options
When the printer runs out of paper in one tray, it can automatically switch to
and use paper in another paper cassette or the multipurpose tray. By using
automatic tray switching between the 500-sheet paper cassette and the 150-
sheet multipurpose tray, you can print 650 sheets without reloading paper. If
you have the optional 500-sheet feeder and cassette, and it contains the same
size paper, automatic tray switching includes it as a paper source.
Note: The Paper Handling category sets the default paper-handling options
for the printer. You can change printer settings without changing the printer’s
defaults by changing the settings in the Print and Page Setup dialog boxes.
Network users should use the Print and Page Setup dialog boxes to choose the
individual settings for their documents.

the multipurpose tray. (If you

size paper, the printer won’t
use the multipurpose tray.)
