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 prin t jobs to set paper size and type. It 
prints from Tray 1 if paper is present at the st art of a job unless the job has selected another 
tray.
Dynamic  (Default): The dynamic setting enables inco ming print jobs to set paper size and 
type. It prints from Tray 1 if the tray is select ed or Tray 1 contains the requested paper. If no 
tray has the requested paper, you can select Tray 1 when prompted on the control panel.
Static : The static setting requires the user to select  the paper size and type settings for the tray 
when you load the paper, or later using the Paper Tray Setup menu option on the control panel. 
It prints from Tray 1 if the tray is selected or  Tray 1 contains the requested paper. If no tray has 
the requested paper, you can select Tray 1 when prompted on the control panel.
