Paper Size Control

The paper size detection for Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5 is determined by three paper size
switches located in each paper tray slot. The switch condition is set by moving the
paper guide in the tray. This in turn sets the plastic "fingers" on the side of the paper
tray to a specific position that activates the correct switch combination for the selected
paper size.
Paper Size Switches Indicated as SW1, SW2, and SW3

Selective Control; Paper Pick

Unless changed in printer setup, the default tray is Tray 2. Trays in the optional
1100-Sheet Feeder are identified as Tray 3 and Tray 4. The tray in the optional
550-Sheet Feeder is identified as Tray 3. If both optional Feeders are installed, the
550-Sheet Feeder tray is identified as Tray 3, and the trays of the 1100-Sheet Feeder
are identified as Tray 4 and Tray 5.
Note
The Phaser 6300/6350 printer supports the installation of only one 550-Sheet
Feeder. Attempting to install a second results in an unsupported configuration
error.
