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—Potential Damage: 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.
Assigning a custom paper type name
Assign a custom paper type name to a tray when linking or unlinking the tray.

Changing a Custom Type <x> name

name instead of Custom Type <x>.
