Xerox 5400 User Manual

Paper size and type

The following table describes the paper selection process based on whether you specify 
the paper type (plain, letterhead, etc.), paper size, and/or paper source for the print job 
(using the print driver). The fourth column shows which paper size and type are used, 
based on fully or partially specified paper selection parameters. 

Specifying a paper source (a specific tray) does not guarantee that paper will be 
fed from that tray if the type and size can be satisfied from another source. The 
exception to this is a manual feed request, which always uses the MBF unless 
you override this selection.
