Phaser 550 Color Printer

Paper or Transparency

If you specify a particular media type, the printer picks media from any tray
loaded with that type. If the type requested is not available, the printer
waits until it is available, and displays a message requesting that the
appropriate type of media be loaded.

AutoSelect

You can also choose AutoSelect from the front panel or with a utility Þle.
With AutoSelect, the printer picks media from the default tray (if it is Þlled
and loaded) or any tray in the printer that has media loaded. When that tray
is empty, the printer automatically picks from another tray if it is the same
type and size of media tray.

Manual Feed

The printer driver and the front panel also allow you to choose the manual
feed tray. In the front panel, the selections are Manual Feed: Paper
and Manual Feed: Transparency. In the Macintosh driver, you select
manual feed and media type separately. If no media is loaded in the manual
feed tray when manual feed is selected, the printer waits 60 seconds before it
ßushes the job (the default timeout is 60 seconds).
For more information on the front panel, see ÒFront panelÓ on page 7-1. For
detailed information on the printer drivers, refer to the Phaser 550 Drivers
and Utilities Printing Reference.
Note
You can change the printer's tray-switching behavior by sending
the appropriate utility file to the printer; however, media tray
selections made in a driver take priority over selections made in
either the front panel or by sending utility files to the printer. For
more information, see the Phaser 550 Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference.
