Tray 1 Mode
Tray 1 Mode defines the printer’s media handling behavior to better fit the kind of printing you 
want to do. Three modes determine how paper size and type are set for Tray 1, and which tray 
is used if you do not select a specific tray:
Automatic: The automatic setting enables incoming print jobs to set paper size and type. It 
prints from Tray 1 if paper is present at the start of a job and when the job has not selected 
another tray.
Dynamic (Default): The dynamic setting prompts the printer to search the trays to find the 
paper size and type to match your print job. If no size or type matches are found in Tray 2, 3, or 
4, and Tray 1 media size and type have not been set on the printer’s control panel, the printer 
sets the paper size and type from the print job, and then prints from Tray 1.
Static: The static setting enables the user to select the paper size and type settings for the trays 
using the Paper Tray Setup menu option on the printer’s control panel. To print from Tray 1, 
the paper size and type of your print job must match the Tray 1 paper size and type settings on 
the control panel.
