Customizing tray 1 operation
The printer can be set to print from tray 1 as long as it is loaded, or to 
print only from tray 1 if the type of paper loaded is specifically 
requested. Set 
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
 or 
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
 in 
the Paper Handling Menu at the printer control panel (see “Paper 
Handling Menu” on page 210).
Setting Explanation
TRAY 1 
MODE=FIRST
 
Means that the printer usually pulls paper from 
tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed. If you do not 
keep paper in tray 1 all the time, or you use tray 1 
only for manually feeding paper, keep the default 
setting of 
TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST
 in the Paper 
Handling Menu. 
TRAY 1 
MODE=CASSETTE
 
Means that the printer treats tray 1 like trays 2, 3, 
and 4. Instead of looking for paper in tray 1 first, the 
printer pulls paper from the tray that matches type 
and size settings selected from the software.
When 
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE
 is set, an option 
appears in the Paper Handling Menu to configure 
size
 as well as 
type 
settings for tray 1.
Through the printer driver, you can select paper 
from any tray (including tray 1) by type, size, or 
source. To print by type and size of paper, see 
“Printing by type and size of paper (locking trays)” 
on page 70.
