Auto Tray Switching
The Auto Tray Switching feature enables the printer/copier to 
automatically switch to another tray when a tray runs out of paper. 
The trays must be loaded with the same size paper in the same 
orientation (long edge feed or short edge feed). 
Auto Tray Switching must be enabled in System Settings mode, 
with the same paper type assigned to two or more trays.
Auto Tray Switching may be enabled only for Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4. 
Tray 5 (Bypass) cannot be enabled for Auto Tray Switching.
The default for Auto Tray Switching is On with Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 
enabled. To use Auto Tray Switching with the default settings, load 
the trays you want to use with the same size paper in the same 
orientation. Select the paper tray button for the tray with the lowest 
number on the Control Panel. For example, if you load Trays 1 
and 2 with the same size paper and the same orientation, select 
the Tray 1 Paper Supply button on the Basic Copying tab of the 
Touch Screen. The printer/copier draws from Tray 1 until it is 
empty, then switches automatically to Tray 2.
