You may need to turn off this setting for scan jobs using the following media: • Business cards • Thick paper • Different paper types and sizes • Paper with labels 2 Touch Submit. Linking and unlinking trays Linking trays Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked. The printer automatically senses the Paper Size setting according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the standard 550‑sheet tray and the multipurpose feeder. The printer can sense A4, A5, JIS B5, Letter, Legal, Executive, and Universal paper sizes. The multipurpose feeder and trays using other paper sizes can be linked manually using the Paper Size menu available from the Paper Size/Type menu. Note: To link the multipurpose feeder, Configure MP must be set to Cassette in the Paper menu in order for MP Feeder Size to appear as a menu item.
