Customizing optional Tray 1 operation

Customize optional Tray 1 to fit your printing needs.

The printer can be set to print from optional Tray 1:

z When the tray is loaded (Tray 1 Size=Unspecified and Tray 1 Type=Unspecified; formerly First mode).

Print speed might be slower than normal.

z Only when the type of paper loaded is specifically requested (Tray 1 Size=any size and Tray 1

Type=anything except Unspecified; formerly Cassette mode).

Printing from optional Tray 1 when the loaded paper is requested

When Tray 1 Size=any size and Tray 1 Type=anything except Unspecified (formerly Cassette mode), the

printer treats optional Tray 1 like the internal trays. Instead of looking for paper in optional Tray 1 first, the

printer pulls paper starting either from the bottom tray upward or starting with the tray that matches type or

size settings selected in the program from which you are printing.

From the program or the Print dialog box, set the type and size for a tray, if possible. If not, set the type and

size from the printer control panel. (See “Printing by type and size of paper” on page 57.)

When Tray 1 Size=any size and Tray 1 Type=anything except Unspecified is set at the printer control panel,

an option appears in the Paper Handling menu to configure size as well as type settings for optional Tray 1.
