Selecting Paper from Printer Drivers and Datastreams
The printer determines the paper size in each paper tray by using a feature called
autosensing.
When you submit a print job, the printer driver or datastream, such as PostScript,
specifies a paper size. The printer, using autosensing, selects the paper tray with the
correct paper size to match the paper size specified in the print job.
For example, if letter size paper is loaded in paper tray 1 and legal size paper is loaded
into paper tray 2, and your print job specifies legal, the printer selects paper from tray
2. You do not need to specify tray 2 from your printer driver or datastream.
Selecting Output as Face Up or Face Down
You can select from the operator panel or printer driver to send your print job output
either face up (printed side up) or face down (printed side down) to an output bin or
tray.
