Advanced Printing Features for Phaser 850 Printers

Automatic tray switching

When your printer has a High-Capacity Paper Tray Assembly, you can easily run large jobs
without having to replace paper often. The printer automatically takes paper from the
next tray when the first tray runs out.
1.
For automatic tray switching to work properly, load the same type and size paper in
all of the printer's paper trays.
2. Install a tray in each of the printer's tray slots.
3. In the printer driver, select Paper as the source.

To change the front panel back light intensity (0 is no back light, 10 is the brightest
back light), press the up or down arrows.

Intelligent Ready mode

Intelligent Ready mode is an automated system that monitors the printer's usage and
warms up the printer when you are most likely to need it. You can set Intelligent Ready
mode with PhaserLink or the printer's front panel. The front panel only allows you to turn

You can also turn on the Intelligent Ready mode and set your own printer
warm-up times through PhaserLink Printer Management software. For details on
PhaserLink Printer Management software, refer to the PhaserShare Networking
