Automatic tray switching is available for both PCL emulation
and PostScript jobs. Tray switching is useful for:
• Increasing paper capacity.
When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the printer
automatically switches to the next tray in the sequence,
provided the paper size in the next tray is the same size as
that in the current tray.
• Searching for the correct paper size.
If the paper size specified in your software application
does not match the size paper loaded in the current paper
tray, the printer automatically searches the next tray in
the sequence for a paper size that matches.
The Tray Switching option (in the PostScript Menu) can be
set to any of the settings shown in Table 2.2 below.

For example, when Tray Switching is off, no tray switching
occurs. When set to Main-Front the printer automatically
switches to the front tray when the main tray becomes empty
(provided the correct size paper is in both trays).
