68 Chapter  2 - Printing tasks

EN

When the printer receives a print job, it selects the paper tray by trying 
to match the requested paper type and size with what has been 
loaded in the trays. Using an “autoselect” process, it searches all 
available input paper trays for the paper that satisfies the request, 
starting with the bottom tray and ending with the top tray (tray 1). The 
printer begins printing the job as soon as it finds the proper type/size.

If any paper is loaded in tray 1 and tray 1 is set to 

FIRST

 mode in the 

Paper Handling Menu, the printer will always pull paper from tray 1 
first. (See the explanation of FIRST mode in “Customizing tray 1 
operation” on page 69.)

If the search fails, the printer displays a message on the control panel 
requesting you to load the correct paper type/size. You can load that 
paper type/size, or you can override the request by entering a 
different type/size at the control panel.

If a tray runs out of paper during a print job, the printer automatically 
switches to any paper tray that contains the same paper type/size.

The autoselect process changes somewhat if you customize tray 1 
operation (as explained in “Customizing tray 1 operation” on page 69) 
or set tray 1 for manual feed (as explained in “Manually feeding paper 
from tray 1” on page 71).
