Changing Paper Size, Type, and Color 
When trays 1–4 are set to Adjustable mode, open the selected tray and load the desired paper. When you 
close the tray, the control panel prompts you to set the paper size, type, and color. 
When tray 5 is set to Adjustable mode, you can change paper settings each time you load the tray. When 
you load paper into an empty tray, the control panel prompts you to set the paper size, type, and color. 
When a paper tray is set to Dedicated mode, the control panel prompts you to load a specific paper size, 
color, and type. If you move the guides to load a different paper size in trays 1–4, the control panel 
displays an error message. Once you load the different paper, change the size, type, and color of paper at 
the control panel to clear the error message.
