Configure trays
NOTE: Tray 2 is an optional accessory. For ordering information, see Order
printing supplies online.
To configure the trays, you must have Tray 2 installed and turned on.
By default, the printer draws media from Tray 1. If Tray 1 is empty, the printer draws
media from Tray 2 (if it is installed and loaded with media). You can change this default
behavior by using the following features:
•
Tray Lock: Use this feature to protect special media such as letterhead or
preprinted media from accidental use. If the printer runs out of media while
printing a document, it will not use media from a locked tray to complete the print
job.
• Default Tray: Use this feature to determine the first tray from which the printer
draws media.
NOTE: To use the tray lock and default tray settings, you must select the
automatic tray selection option in the printer software. Also, if the printer is on a
network and you set a default tray, the setting will affect all users of the printer.
Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper.
The following table lists possible ways you can use the tray settings to meet your
printing needs.
