Notes
When you select a feeder, note the following:

The "FEEDER=TRAY2" message appears only when the optional
lower tray unit has been installed.

The FEEDER=AUTO setting allows you to optimize your printing
environment. This setting allows a print job to continue uninterrupted
when a paper out condition occurs. The default setting is AUTO. This
setting allows a common printing situation: Loading the same size
and type of paper in both paper trays. This allows your print job to
continue without error if one of the paper trays becomes empty. The
printer will automatically select the other tray if one tray becomes
empty.

When you select the FEEDER=AUTO, the printer automatically
searches for the paper size you set with the Mode button in the PAGE
FORMAT mode and loads the paper from the paper source that
contains the selected size of paper. If the upper and lower Media
Cassettes contain different sizes of paper and one Media Cassette runs
out of paper, the printer stops printing without automatically changing
to the other paper source to feed paper. It prevents a different size of
paper from being printed by mistake.

If you have the same size of paper loaded but of different type (i.e.:
FORM "A" in Tray 1, Form "B" in Tray 2) it is recommended to
change the feeder setting from AUTO to Tray 1. This setting will
allow the printer to pause when a paper empty condition occurs,
allowing you to load the correct type of paper, then press Select to
finish the print job.
4. Press the Set button to make the displayed selection effective.
When you select "TRAY1," or "TRAY2," an asterisk appears at the
end of the display for a short time. Then the "exit" message appears
on the display. Press the Set button again, so that the printer exits
from the setting mode to the off-line state.
When you select "AUTO", the tray selection menu for the auto paper
feed appears on the display. Go to the next step.
5. Change the tray combination and priority with the
When "AUTO=T1>T2" is set, both Tray 1 and the Tray2 are selected
but tray 1 will be selected first if the paper size in tray 1 and the page
size for the printing job match each other. (If you are using the
optional Lower Tray and want to give priority to Tray2, you can use
the "AUTO=T2>T1" setting.)
