Orienting media
Orient media types and sizes according to the tray from which the media will print and
according to whether the media will be duplexed (printed on both sides).
Use the following table to determine how to orient paper and other media in the trays.

Printing documents
This section provides instructions for printing when you want to set options for the MFP for
Microsoft Windows or Macintosh operating systems. If possible, set the MFP options in the
software program or in the Print dialog box. In most Windows and Macintosh programs, you
can set the MFP options. If a setting is not available in the program or printer driver, you
must set it by using the MFP control panel.
To print a document
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the MFP. See Loading...

Selecting which tray is used for printing 
You can select how the MFP pulls media from the trays. The following sections provide
information about configuring the MFP to pull media from specific trays.
Understanding tray order
When the MFP receives a print job, it selects the tray by trying to match the requested media
type and size with what has been loaded in the trays. Using an autoselect process, it
searches all available trays for the media that satisfies the request, starting with the bottom
tray...

You can also determine whether the MFP shows a prompt to ask if it can pull media from
tray 1 if it cannot find the type and size that you requested in another tray. You can set the
MFP to always prompt you before pulling from tray 1 or only prompt you if tray 1 is empty.
Set the  USE REQUESTED TRAY  setting on the SYSTEM SETUP  submenu of the
CONFIGURE DEVICE  menu.
Printing by type and size of media (locking trays)
Printing by type and size is a way to be  sure that print jobs always print on the media...

Manually feeding media from tray 1 
The manual feed feature is another way of printing on special media from tray 1. Setting
MANUAL FEED to ON  either in the printer driver or at the MFP control panel stops the MFP
after each job is sent, allowing you time to  load special paper or other print media in tray 1.
If tray 1 contains media when you  send the print job, and the MFP control panel has  TRAY 1
TYPE=ANY  and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY  as the default configuration for tray 1 operation, the
MFP will  not stop...

Selecting the correct fuser mode
The MFP automatically adjusts the fuser mode based on the media type for which the tray is
set. For example, heavy paper, such as card stock, might need a higher fuser-mode setting
in order to make the toner adhere better  to the page, but transparencies need the  LOW 2
fuser-mode setting to avoid damage to the  MFP. The default setting generally provides the
best performance for most print-media types.
The fuser mode can be changed only if the media type has been set for...
