Cassette Chaining
If you have an optional lower input feeder, you may choose to have
the printer automatically draw media from the other cassette (input-
bin) when the current cassette empties. This is called cassette chain-
ing, and it provides a total media input capacity of 500 sheets.
Enabling/Disabling Cassette Chaining
There are four ways to enable/disable cassette chaining:
n
Use your application. (Check the documentation to see if your
application includes a specific procedure for using a dual-
cassette printer.)
n
Select an alternate cassette for chaining in the QMS Level 2
Windows printer driver.
n
On a network, use CrownAdmin 3 to select the media cassettes
and/or the media source.
n
Configure the printer through the configuration menu.
