Configuring Universal paper settings

The Universal Paper Size is a user‑defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer
menus. Set the Paper Size for the specified tray to Universal when the size you want is not available from the Paper
Size menu. Then, specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper:
•
Units of measure (inches or millimeters)
•
Portrait Height and Portrait Width
• Feed Direction
Note: The smallest supported Universal size is 100 x 148 mm (3.9 x 5.8 in.); the largest is 305 x 483 mm
(11.7 x 19 in.).

Linking and unlinking trays

Linking trays

Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next
linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked.
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the
multipurpose feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the Paper Size
menu. The Paper Type setting must be set for all trays from the Paper Type menu. The Paper Type menu and the Paper
Size menu are both available from the Paper Size/Type menu.

Unlinking trays

Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray.
