Selecting Paper Options for Printing
There are two ways to select the paper for your print job. You can let the printer select which paper to
use based on the document size, paper type, and paper color you specify. You can also select a specific
tray loaded with the desired paper.
Setting the Tray 1 Mode
Tray 1 mode specifies how the printer determines paper size and type when paper is loaded into Tray 1
but not specified at the printer control panel.
Tray Mode
Description
Static
The current paper type and size are in effect until you change them at the printer
control panel.
Dynamic
The first print job that uses tray 1 after paper is loaded sets the paper size and type.
You can override the settings at the printer control panel.
Automatic
The incoming job prints from tray 1 automatically when paper is in tray 1 and no
other tray is specified.
Permanent
The printer changes the paper size and type only when you modify the settings at the
printer control panel.

default setting for Tray 2 mode. You can override Tray 2 mode at the printer control panel when you
