CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL  Notes When you select a feeder, note the following:  The "FEEDER=TRAY2" message appears only when the optional lower tray unit has been installed.  The FEEDER=AUTO setting allows you to optimize your printing environment. This setting allows a print job to continue uninterrupted when a paper out condition occurs. The default setting is AUTO. This setting allows a common printing situation: Loading the same size and type of paper in both paper trays. This allows your print job to continue without error if one of the paper trays becomes empty. The printer will automatically select the other tray if one tray becomes empty.  When you select the FEEDER=AUTO, the printer automatically searches for the paper size you set with the Mode button in the PAGE FORMAT mode and loads the paper from the paper source that contains the selected size of paper. If the upper and lower Media Cassettes contain different sizes of paper and one Media Cassette runs out of paper, the printer stops printing without automatically changing to the other paper source to feed paper. It prevents a different size of paper from being printed by mistake.  If you have the same size of paper loaded but of different type (i.e.: FORM "A" in Tray 1, Form "B" in Tray 2) it is recommended to change the feeder setting from AUTO to Tray 1. This setting will allow the printer to pause when a paper empty condition occurs, allowing you to load the correct type of paper, then press Select to finish the print job. 4. Press the Set button to make the displayed selection effective. When you select "TRAY1," or "TRAY2," an asterisk appears at the end of the display for a short time. Then the "exit" message appears on the display. Press the Set button again, so that the printer exits from the setting mode to the off-line state. When you select "AUTO", the tray selection menu for the auto paper feed appears on the display. Go to the next step. 5. Change the tray combination and priority with the v or w button. When "AUTO=T1>T2" is set, both Tray 1 and the Tray2 are selected but tray 1 will be selected first if the paper size in tray 1 and the page size for the printing job match each other. (If you are using the optional Lower Tray and want to give priority to Tray2, you can use the "AUTO=T2>T1" setting.) 6. Press the Set button. 4-65
