8. Relatch the paper feeder assembly by pressing the green dot
until the assembly clicks into position.
9. Slide the tray into the printer until it latches. You are ready

The system provides two feeder trays (1 and 2) as part of the
base configuration. Two additional feeder trays are available with
the high-capacity feeder option (trays 3 and 4). You have the
option of selecting any of the trays individually or as a single
grouping of several trays, called a cluster.
Clusters provide a means of feeding specific paper stock to a
print job. A cluster is a group of related paper trays. The trays
assigned to a cluster usually contain the same size and type of
paper. This allows common stock to feed from more than one
tray.
Clusters are usually set up and named by the person who
programs the print job. The cluster name consists of 1 to 6
alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
The name can represent the type of stock used in the job. The
cluster definition and the name allow the system to locate the
feeder trays with the correct paper stock to use for a specific job.
Clusters allow you to use more than one size of paper within a
job and to use groups of trays within a job as if they were only
one tray.
Based on messages from the system, you load the correct stock
into the feeder trays and identify the stock in each tray. The
system then selects the stock as required by the print job. It
does this by selecting a feeder tray for each page by checking
the cluster name and paper size associated with the page.
