Configure, Modify or Verify Paper Tray Settings

(Fully Adjustable/Dedicated, Priority, Auto

Selection)

For each paper tray, you can view or configure the tray mode, priority, and auto-select
settings.

You can set the tray mode to Fully Adjustable or Dedicated. When a paper tray is set to Fully
Adjustable mode, you can change the paper settings each time that you load the tray. When a
paper tray is set to Dedicated mode, the control panel prompts you to load a specific paper
size, type, and color.

Note:

• The Bypass Tray is set always as a Fully Adjustable tray.

• For a Dedicated tray, you can set any media size that the tray supports as a dedicated
size.

Your printer can have three high-capacity paper trays installed, depending on the
configuration.

• High-capacity trays are configured as Fully Adjustable trays.

• Trays 3 and 4 in the Tandem Module, and High-Capacity Tray 6 hold A4-size (210 x 297
mm), Letter-size (8.5 x 11 in.), JIS B5-size (182 x 257 mm), or Executive-size (7.25 x 10.5
in.) paper.
• High-capacity trays are designed to hold larger amounts of paper for fewer printing
interruptions.

This setting may be configured from the Control Panel or using the Embedded Web Server
(EWS). Select your preferred method to configure, modify or verify the setting.

◦ Fully Adjustable: This option prompts you to confirm the type of paper loaded in
the tray.
◦ Dedicated: This option sets the paper tray as the only paper source for print jobs
that match a specific paper size, type, and color. This option assumes that the
paper that you loaded in the tray matches the paper settings for the tray.
