Automatic Tray Selection - Xerox DocuPrint 305 User Manual

Automatic Tray Selection

If you display the properties dialog box of the printer driver and select a paper type for
[Specify Paper Type] and [Auto] for [Paper Source] on the [Tray/Output] tab for printing, this
printer will be able to automatically detect paper trays loaded with the selected paper type
and then among them, select the tray that matches the size and orientation of the document
to be printed. This feature is known as automatic tray selection.
If there are multiple trays that match those criteria for automatic tray selection, a tray is
selected based on the settings for [Tray Priority] on the control panel.
In addition, if [None] is specified for [Specify Paper Type], a tray is selected based on the
settings of [Paper Priority] on the control panel. If the same priority is not assigned to more
than one paper type, a tray is selected based on the settings of [Tray Priority].
Note
• If there are no paper trays that match the automatic tray selection, an error message prompting for
replenishment of paper will be displayed. You can configure the printer not to display this message but to
automatically select a nearest or larger paper size of the document for printing. (Substitute Tray)
• If paper runs out during printing, a paper tray containing paper of the same size and orientation of the
paper used for printing will be selected to continue printing (automatic tray switching). If [None] is
specified for [Specify Paper Type], the paper types that have not been specified for [Paper Priority] are
excluded from the options of the automatic tray selection and automatic tray switching.
• You can also specify the paper tray priority in CentreWare Internet Services.
• If there are no paper trays that match the paper types that are specified for [Specify Paper Type], a
message prompting to confirm printing on another paper type will be displayed. Press the <Eject/Set>
button to print on paper of another type or press the <Cancel Job> button to cancel the job.
