Making Duplex or Simplex Printing the Printer Default, Changing the Default PCL Size

Page 79 highlights

to the printer, the printer selects the first tray it finds that has the correct paper size, regardless of whether tray switching is on or the tray is protected. You cannot turn this type of switching off; nor can you "protect" trays from being included in this switching sequence. If the initial tray runs out of paper, however, regular tray switching and tray protection rules apply. (No switching if TRAY SWITCH is OFF, no selecting paper from "protected" trays.) 5. If the printer cannot find the correct size paper in any tray, it may display 11 LOAD size IN tray, where tray is the last tray it looked in, not necessarily the tray you requested. Making Duplex or Simplex Printing the Printer Default Situation: You have the duplex unit installed and you want to make duplex printing or simplex printing the printer default. Action: 1. Press the Online key until you see OFFLINE in the display. 2. Press the Menu key until you see PAPER MENU in the display. 3. Press the Item key until you see DUPLEX=ON or DUPLEX=OFF in the display. 4. Press the Value key until you see the new value you want. 5. Press the Enter key to select the new setting. An asterisk appears next to the value, showing that it is active. 6. To restore the printer to READY status, press the Online key. Notes: 1. Values set in print jobs (either by the print application or by the printer driver) override values you set at the printer. If a print job specifies simplex printing and the printer default is duplex, the printer honors the print job setting and prints on one side only. 2. The BINDING item on the Paper Menu lets you specify how you want duplex jobs to print. If BINDING is set to LONG (the default value), the job prints as if the paper is to be bound along the long edge of the paper (on the left for portrait documents, along the top for landscape documents.) If you set BINDING to SHORT, the job prints as if the paper is to be bound along the short edge of the paper (on the top for portrait documents, on the left for landscape documents.) Changing the Default PCL Page Size Situation: You want to change the default page size for PCL jobs. For example, you need to print a configuration page, and the PCL page size default is currently set to something smaller than A4 or letter. Chapter 4. Paper Handling 67

Making Duplex or Simplex Printing the Printer Default
Situation
: You have the duplex unit installed and you want to make duplex
printing or simplex printing the printer default.
Action

1.
Press the
Online
key until you see OFFLINE in the display.
2.
Press the
Menu
key until you see PAPER MENU in the display.
3.
Press the
Item
key until you see DUPLEX=ON or DUPLEX=OFF in the
display.
4.
Press the
Value
key until you see the new value you want.
5.
Press the

key.
Notes:
1.
Values set in print jobs (either by the print application or by the printer
driver) override values you set at the printer. If a print job specifies
simplex printing and the printer default is duplex, the printer honors the
print job setting and prints on one side only.
2.
The BINDING item on the Paper Menu lets you specify how you want
duplex jobs to print. If BINDING is set to LONG (the default value), the
job prints as if the paper is to be bound along the long edge of the paper
(on the left for portrait documents, along the top for landscape
documents.) If you set BINDING to SHORT, the job prints as if the paper
is to be bound along the short edge of the paper (on the top for portrait
documents, on the left for landscape documents.)
Changing the Default PCL Page Size
Situation
: You want to change the default page size for PCL jobs. For
example, you need to print a configuration page, and the PCL page size
