Linking And Unlinking Trays; Printing Forms; Printing A Document - Lexmark X746 Quick Reference Manual

Linking and unlinking trays

When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the
printer will link those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty,
paper will feed from the next linked tray. It is recommended to give all
unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a
different custom type name so that the trays they are in will not
automatically link.
