Dell 5310n Mono Laser Printer - Manual (Page 114)

For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty,
and then the printer automatically feeds print media from the next linked tray — tray 4.
By linking all trays (standard and optional), you effectively create a single source with a capacity of up to 2,600 sheets.
Make sure you load the same size and type of print media in each tray in order to link the trays. Set the paper size and type for each tray.
To set the paper type or size:
1. Press the Menu button on the operator panel.
2. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Paper Menu, and then press the Select button .
3. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Paper Size/Type, and then press the Select button .
4. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Tray <x> Size/Type, and then press the Select button .
5. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to the paper size you loaded, and then press the Select button .
6. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Tray <x> Size/Type, and then press the Select button .
7. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to the paper type you loaded, and then press the Select button .
The printer returns to Ready.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of print media when they are
linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.
Identifying and Linking Output Bins
There is one standard output bin that holds 250 sheets. If you need additional output capacity, you can install up to three optional output expanders.
If you have multiple output bins, you can link them into a single output source. Linking output bins lets the printer automatically switch output to the next
available bin.
Output bins available
The following table provides information on standard and optional output bin capability and connectivity.
