Media specifications
Tray linking
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of
media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, media
feeds from the next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of media loaded in tray 1 and tray 2, the printer
selects media from tray 1 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds media from
the next linked tray — tray 2.
By linking both trays, you effectively create a single source with a capacity of 780 sheets.
If you load the same size media in each tray, make sure the media is all the same type in order to link
the trays.
Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of media, select the same Paper
Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do
not have the same type of media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong
paper type.
Using the duplex function (two-sided printing)
Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Printing on
both sides of paper reduces printing costs.
