Turning Tray Switching On or Off
Situation : You want to turn tray switching on or off. When switching is ON
(the default value) the printer automatically looks in other trays for the right
size of paper if the current tray is empty. Tray switching always occurs when
the current tray contains the wrong size paper.
The search sequence is:
v
The tray selected by the job, or the printer default tray if the job does not
specify a tray
v
Tray 5 (if installed)
v
Tray 4 (if installed)
v
Tray 3 (if installed)
v
Tray 2
v
Tray 1
v
The auxiliary tray if the DUPLEX item in the Paper Menu is OFF. If duplex
is ON, the auxiliary tray is not included in the tray switching sequence.
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 TRAY SWITCH=ON* or TRAY
SWITCH=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. You can exclude trays from the tray switching search sequence that occurs
when a tray is empty. See the description for the following items in the
Paper Menu: AUXTRAYPROT (page 100), TRAYnPROT (page 99), or
ENVTRAYPROT (page 101).
2. Tray switching does not occur when two trays have the same size paper
but different orientations. For example, if Tray 1 and Tray 3 both have
letter-size paper, but Tray 1 is short-edge feed and Tray 3 is long-edge
feed, tray switching will not occur.
3.
Tray switching is automatic when the printer detects the wrong size paper
in the requested tray. You cannot turn this type of switching off; nor can
you “protect” trays from being included in this switching sequence.
4. Tray switching is also automatic when the printer first looks for a tray to
print a PostScript job. In other words, when you first send a PostScript job
