							Configure trays
The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:
●When you load paper into the tray
● When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a
software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings
NOTE:
The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the  ANY
SIZE  and ANY TYPE  settings. In this situation, if the print job does not specify a tray, the product prints
from Tray 1, even if the paper size and type settings in the print job do not match the paper loaded in
Tray 1.

Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)
The automatic media type sensor functions when that tray is configured to the  ANY TYPE or plain type
setting. It also functions when the  PRINT MODE setting for that tray is set to the  AUTO SENSE
MODE  option.
After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper weight,
and gloss level.
For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.
Auto-sense settings
Full sensing (Tray 1 only)For each sheet of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects light paper,
plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies.
Expanded sensingFor the first few sheets of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects
light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and
transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.
Transparency only The product distinguishes between transparencies and non-transparencies.
For more information about setting these options, see Print Quality menu on page 23.
Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media
when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the  Page Setup, Print, or Print
Properties  dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these settings, the product
automatically selects a tray using the default settings.
Source
To print by source, select a specific tray in the printer driver for the product to pull from. If you select a
tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to
load the tray with the type or size of paper for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray,
the product begins printing.
Type and Size
● Printing by type or size causes the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the correct type
and size of paper.
● Selecting paper by type rather than source helps protect special paper from accidental use.
● Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special
print media, such as labels or transparencies.
● Print by type or size for envelopes, if possible.

							●To print by type or size, sele
ct the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog
box, or the  Print Properties  dialog box, depending on the software program.
● If you often print on a certain type or size of paper, configure a tray for that type or size. Then, when
you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls paper from the tray
that is configured for that type or size.
