Linking trays

•

If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the
printer automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the
next linked tray.

For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2
and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next
linked tray—tray 4.

If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the
same type to link the trays.

Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty
media, select the same

Paper Type

setting in the

Paper Menu

To disable tray linking, set the
