							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 paper type for a print job through the printer driver or a

igured 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  paper size and the  Any Type paper type settings. In this situat ion, if the print job does not specify
a tray, the product prints from Tray 1, even if th e paper size and type settings in the print job do not
match the paper loaded in Tray 1.

							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 do es not match your print job, the product prompts you to
load the tray with the type or size of paper for yo ur 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, select 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.
