Selecting which tray is used for printing
You can select how the MFP pulls media from the trays. The following sections provide
information about configuring the MFP to pull media from specific trays.
Understanding tray order
When the MFP receives a print job, it selects the tray by trying to match the requested media
type and size with what has been loaded in the trays. Using an "autoselect" process, it
searches all available trays for the media that satisfies the request, starting with the bottom
tray and ending with the top tray (tray 1). The MFP begins printing the job as soon as it finds
the correct type and size.
Note
The "autoselect" process occurs only if no specific tray is requested for the job. If a specific
tray is requested, the job prints from the requested tray.
If media is loaded in tray 1 and tray 1 is set TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1
SIZE=ANY on the PAPER HANDLING menu, the MFP will always pull media from
tray 1 first. See
Customizing tray 1 operation for more information.
If the search fails, a message appears on the MFP control-panel display requesting that
you load the correct media type and size. You can load that media type and size, or you
can override the request by selecting a different type and size at the MFP control panel.
If a tray runs out of media during a print job, the MFP automatically switches to any tray
that contains the same media type and size.
The autoselect process changes somewhat if you customize tray 1 operation (as explained
in
Customizing tray 1 operation) or if you set tray 1 for manual feed (as explained in
Manually feeding media from tray 1).
Customizing tray 1 operation
The MFP can be set to print from tray 1 if it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the type of
media that is loaded is specifically requested. See
Paper handling menu.
Setting Explanation
TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY
TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY
The MFP usually pulls media from tray 1 first
unless it is empty or closed. If you do not keep
media in tray 1 all the time, or if you use tray 1
only to manually feed media, keep the default
setting of TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1
SIZE=ANY on the PAPER HANDLING menu.
TRAY 1 TYPE= or TRAY 1 SIZE= a type other
than ANY
The MFP treats tray 1 like the other trays.
Instead of looking for media in tray 1 first, the
MFP pulls media from the tray that matches type
and size settings that are selected in the software.
In the printer driver, you can select media 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 media (locking trays).
