Select Paper Tray

Item

Description

Select Paper Tray

Select the tray for printing faxes from the following: [Auto], [Tray 1], or [Tray 2].

If [Auto] is selected, the machine uses tray 1 and tray 2 if they contain paper of the same size. In this case, the machine starts to print from the tray specified as the priority tray for [Fax] in the [Priority Tray] page. If that tray runs out of paper, the machine automatically switches to the other tray to continue printing.

Only A4, Letter, or Legal size paper can be used for printing faxes. Make sure to select a tray that contains paper of the valid size.

If tray 2 is not installed, only [Tray 1] appears.
