82 Chapter 5: Paper handling
Tray linking
If you want to increase your printer’s paper capacity, you
can add up to two optional 250-sheet drawers to your
printer. If you load the same paper size and type in more
than one tray, the printer automatically links the trays:
when one tray is empty, paper feeds from the other tray.
By linking the trays, you can effectively create a single
paper source that holds up to 850 sheets (depending on
the options you have installed).
To initiate tray linking:
1
Load paper of the same size and type in all the
trays you want to link.
2 Make sure the rear paper guide is set to the proper
position for the paper size you’ve loaded.
The position of the rear paper guide informs the
printer of the paper size loaded in the tray.
If you want to link the multipurpose feeder to a tray,
select the appropriate MP Feeder Size setting from
the Paper Size menu.
3 Select the same Paper Type setting for all the
sources.
See page 18 or refer to the Setup Guide for more
information about changing the Paper Type setting.
With tray linking in effect, the printer feeds paper from
one tray until it is empty, and then feeds paper from the
next tray.
To disable tray linking, change the Paper Type setting for
one or more of the trays to a Custom Type setting. See
page 18 for more information.
