ENWW Selecting which tray is used for printing 47
Customizing tray 1 operation
The printer can be set to print from tray 1 as long as it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the
type of paper loaded is specifically requested. (See
“Paper Handling menu” on page 154 .)
You can also determine whether the printer displays a prompt asking you if it can pull paper from
tray 1 if it cannot find the type and size you requested in another tray. You can set the printer to
always prompt you before pulling from tray 1 or only prompt you if tray 1 is empty. Set the
USE
REQUESTED TRAY setting on the System Setup submenu of the Configure Device menu. See
“USE REQUESTED TRAY” on page 162 .
Setting Explanation
TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY
TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY Means that the printer usually pulls paper from tray 1 first unless it is empty or
closed. If you do not keep paper in tray 1 all the time, or you use tray 1 only for
manually feeding paper, keep the default setting of
TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1
SIZE=ANY on the Paper Handling menu.
TRAY 1 TYPE or
SIZE = a type other
than ANY
Means that the printer treats tray 1 like the other trays. Instead of looking for paper in
tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper from the tray that matches type and size settings
selected from the software.
In the printer driver, you can select paper from any tray (including tray 1) by type,
size, or source. To print by type and size of paper, see
“Printing by type and size of
paper (locking trays)” on page 48 .
