Configuring trays
When you print a document, you can allow the printer to select the correct tray for the print job,
or you can select a specific tray for the current print job. These settings are available in the
printer driver in the Source is drop-down menu (Windows) and in the Print dialog box in the
Paper Source or Source box (Mac OS).
If you do not select a tray in the printer driver, the printer automatically selects a tray. By
default, the printer draws paper from Tray 2 first, if it is installed. Computers running Windows
can use the Toolbox to set Tray 1 as the default tray or lock a tray. A Windows user who sets
these settings for a network printer will be setting them for all users of the printer, including
Mac OS users.
The following table lists possible ways you can use the trays to meet your printing needs.
Note
Tray 2 is meant for plain paper only.
