When the printer is shipped from the factory, tray linking is not enabled. The factory default Paper Types for the three standard trays are: • Tray 1 = Custom Type 6 • Tray 2 = Plain Paper • Tray 3 = Custom Type 3 To link trays: 1 Load paper of the same size and type in all the trays you want to link. Refer to the User's Reference for complete paper loading instructions. 2 Make sure the printer recognizes the same paper size is loaded in each tray: a If you're linking tray 1, make sure you selected the correct size from the Tray 1 Size menu. See "Paper Size" on page 33 for more information. b If you're linking a 500-sheet tray (tray 2, 3, or 4), make sure the left paper guide is inserted into the correct slot inside the paper tray. Refer to the User's Reference for an illustration of proper paper loading in the 500-sheet trays. c Select the same Paper Type setting for all the sources. See "Paper Type" on page 34 for more information. When trays are linked, the printer feeds paper from one tray until it is empty, and then feeds paper from the next linked tray. To disable tray linking, change the Paper Type setting for any tray you do not want to be linked to a Custom Type setting. See "Printer menus" on page 32 more information about changing printer settings. Paper handling 101
