When a print job is received by the printer, the sequence to 
select the paper tray for each page is as follows:
1.
Page size is established. 
If page size is not sent by the application, the PCL Menu 
setting called 
 
Paper Size
 
 is used.
2.
Paper source is established.
If a paper source is sent by the application, it will be one 
of the six PCL paper sources listed in 
 
Figure 2.10 
(page 2-22)
 
.
If paper source is not sent by the application, the PCL 
Menu setting called 
 
Default Source
 
 is used. Some 
software applications have a paper source called “Auto 
Select” or “Auto Sheet Feed.” When used, this results in 
a PCL paper source being omitted from the print job.
3.
When the printer is ready to print the page, tray sequence 
is established.
For the paper source chosen in the second step above, a 
tray or sequence of trays is taken from the PCL Menu 
 
Source Mapping
 
 setting for that source. For settings, see 
 
Figure 2.11 (page 2-25)
 
.
4.
The printer searches in the tray or in any tray in the tray 
sequence for the correct page size from the first step 
above.
In a tray sequence, the trays are searched left to right as 
they appear in the 
 
Source Mapping
 
 setting. For example, 
for sequence “Std-Low-MP”, the standard tray is 
searched first, the lower tray second, and the MP tray 
third. The MP paper size is taken from the PCL Menu 
setting called 
 
MP Tray Size
 
.
5.
If a tray with the correct paper size is found, the page is 
printed from that tray.
If no tray with the correct paper size is found, the tray 
sequence and paper size are displayed on the Control 
Printing a Page
