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. Set TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST or TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer's control panel. (Print speed might be slightly slower when printing from Tray 1 when TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST.) Tray 1 Mode=First 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, TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST in the Paper Handling Menu. • TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST means that the printer usually pulls paper from Tray 1 first unless it is empty. • You can still choose paper from other trays by specifically choosing another tray in the printer driver. Tray 1 Mode=Cassette TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE means the printer treats Tray 1 like the other tray. Instead of looking for paper in Tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper either starting from the bottom tray upward, or the tray that matches type or size settings selected from the software. • When TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE is set, an option appears in the Paper Handling Menu to configure size as well as type settings for Tray 1. • Through the printer driver, you can select paper from any tray (including Tray 1) by type, size, or source.

Customizing Tray 1 Operation
Customize Tray 1 to fit your printing needs.
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. Set
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
or
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
from
the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel. (Print speed
might be slightly slower when printing from Tray 1 when
TRAY 1
MODE=FIRST
.)
Tray 1 Mode=First
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,
TRAY 1
MODE=FIRST
in the Paper Handling Menu.
•
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
means that the printer usually pulls paper
from Tray 1 first unless it is empty.
•
You can still choose paper from other trays by specifically
choosing another tray in the printer driver.
Tray 1 Mode=Cassette
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
means the printer treats Tray 1 like the other
tray. Instead of looking for paper in Tray 1 first, the printer pulls paper
either starting from the bottom tray upward, or the tray that matches
type or size settings selected from the software.
•
When
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
is set, an option appears in the
Paper Handling Menu to configure
size
as well as
type
settings
for Tray 1.
•
Through 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 page 47.
