NOTE If all of the tray type settings are set to ANY, and if you do not select a specific tray (source) in the printer driver, the printer pulls media from the lowest tray. For example, if you have an optional tray 3 installed, the printer pulls media from that tray first. However, if the tray 1 size and type settings are set to ANY and if media is loaded in the tray, then the printer prints from tray 1 first. If tray 1 is closed, the printer prints from the lowest tray. Priority for print settings Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made: NOTE The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program. ● Page Setup dialog box: Click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here override settings changed anywhere else. ● Print dialog box: Click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box. ● Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver): Click Properties in the Print dialog box to open the printer driver. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog box do not override settings anywhere else in the printing software. ● Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog boxes. ● Printer control panel settings: Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority than changes made anywhere else.
