Selecting the cleaning page source
The printer picks sheets of paper from a designated media tray as part of its
self-maintenance and jam recovery routines. The default cleaning page
source for the printer is the upper tray. When the Lower Paper Tray
Assembly is installed, you can change the source of the cleaning page to the
lower tray to prevent the printer from using transparencies or letterhead
loaded in the upper paper tray.
You can change the cleaning page source through the front panel or by
sending a PostScript language Þle to the printer (refer to the printerÕs
CD-ROM). To change the cleaning page source from the printerÕs front
panel, follow these steps:
1.
While the Ready message or the printerÕs name is displayed,
press the Menu button. The printer displays the setup menu:
