About Auto Tray Switching and setting tray priorities
The Xerox Nuvera is designed to allow a job to be submitted using only job attributes, and the system will then, based upon tray
priorities, pull stock from the tray(s) containing the programmed stock.
You have the ability to control the order in which trays are used by the system, by setting each tray's priorities. For example, if trays 1
and 2 contain the same type of paper, but you are running a big job, you can set tray 2 to be chosen first, since it has a larger paper
capacity. In this case, the job pulls stock from tray 2 first. When tray 2 is out of stock, the job switches to pull from tray 1. Once tray 2 is
refilled, the job switches back to pulling stock from tray 2.
Feed Until Empty
A user selected workflow, Feed Until Empty, tells the system to empty the second tray before switching back to the original tray. In the
above example, once tray 2 is empty, the job switches to pulling stock from tray 1 and remains pulling stock from that tray until it is
empty. Once tray 1 is empty, the job immediately switches back to tray 2, if it has be refilled.
To select Feed Until Empty:
1. Right-click one of the trays in the
Paper Trays
window.
2. Click
Disable Tray
from the
Tray
pull-down menu.
1. Select
System
:
User Diagnostics
:

:
Feed Until Empty Algorithm
to enable
Feed Until Empty.
To set tray priority

Paper Trays
and double-click the paper tray you want to set.
2. On the Tray Properties window, click the
Options
button.
3. In the
Tray Priority
text box, type a lower number (the lower the number, the higher the tray priority).
4. Repeat Steps 2-4 to check that the other trays are assigned priority numbers which will cause the system to use them in the
order you want.
5. When satisfied with the priority settings on each Tray Properties window, click <
OK
>.
NOTE
: To find out at a glance the priority setting of each paper tray,scroll to the right side of the
Paper Trays
table. The Priority
column shows the current setting for each tray.
NOTE
: It is possible to configure your Xerox Nuvera with two or more Sheet Feed Modules (SFM), effectively doubling the feed
capacity of the system. Notify your Xerox sales representative if you wish to configure your system in this way. See
Feed
Module
for more details.
NOTE
: If your Xerox Nuvera is configured with two or more Sheet Feed Modules, pay special attention to how the trays are
displayed in the user interface. For example, tray 2 in the first SFM will appear as "
Feeder 1: Tray 2
". Tray 1 in the second SFM
will appear as "
Feeder 2: Tray 1
."
