Tray Sequence
Examples
The examples in Table 1.34 discuss conditions and actions 
that take place when various Tray Sequence settings are 
used.
Table 1.34 Tray Sequence examples
Condition
Action(s) Taken
The Tray Sequence is set to 1-2.
• All trays are set to 
Letter
 paper.
• There is no paper in Tray 1.
• Letter paper is requested with the source set to 
Auto
.
The printer searches for letter paper in the tray 
sequence order (1-2). Since Tray 1 is empty, the 
printer feeds paper from Tray 2 until it becomes 
empty. When Tray 2 becomes empty, the printer 
prompts you to load paper. Although Tray 3 also 
contains letter paper, it is ignored because it is not 
part of the tray sequence, and the requested paper 
is configured in at least one of the trays included in 
the sequence.
The Tray Sequence is set to 1-2-3.
• A Tray 2 paper source is requested.
• All trays meet the size/type requirement.
The printer feeds paper from Tray 2 because it 
meets the size and type requested. When Tray 2 
becomes empty, the printer feeds from Trays 1 and 
3.
The Tray Sequence is set to 2-3.
• Trays 1 and 2 contain letter paper.
• Tray 3 contains legal paper.
• Legal paper from Tray 2 is requested.
The printer feeds from Tray 3 because it is the only 
tray that meets the size and type requested.
The Tray Sequence is set to MBF-1-2.
• The MBF is set to 
Letter
 paper and contains one 
sheet of paper.
• All other trays contain Letter paper.
• Letter paper from Tray 2 is requested.
The printer feeds the first page of the job from the 
MBF and subsequent pages from Tray 2.
The Tray Sequence is any setting.
• All trays contain Letter paper.
• Legal paper from Tray 2 is requested.
The printer prompts you to load legal paper in the 
MBF since no tray was configured for legal paper, 
and if no A3/Ledger size tray is installed, the MBF is 
the only input source that can handle legal paper.
