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.

To unlink a tray, change the following tray settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray:

• Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type <x>)

Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is used by

linked trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type <x>, or define your own

custom name.

• Paper Size (for example: letter, A4, statement)

Load a different paper size to change the Paper Size setting for a tray automatically. Paper Size settings for the

multipurpose feeder are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.

Warning: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper loaded in the tray.

The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Paper may not be properly processed if

an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.
