    Paper Type Assignment Initially, the printer assigns PLAIN to each paper tray as its default paper type. (The paper type is being used to let the printer distinguish between trays with same paper size but different media.) In case of a paper out in a selected tray, the printer will automatically pull paper from another tray with the same paper size and the same paper type.
