Although printing has morphed into a regular activity in our lives, we find ourselves scared of the many settings that require attention. Before ordering a command, you need to consider many things to be presented with the perfect output. However, did you know that other than picking the paper and color options, you also need to configure paper tray settings?!
Wondering how to change printer tray settings to convenience your printing journey—puzzled about the entire process?
Today we will teach you two methods through which you can make the necessary alterations to your printer’s tray. One can be done using the printer’s control panel, while the other requires the assistance of your device.
Place your papers within the paper tray and align them accordingly by utilizing the paper guides provided. Make sure their edge touches the back so that the device can recognize it is loaded.
On the control panel, you will notice aHomeicon or button. Click on it to access some other choices.
You should now select the Device option to be presented with the paper Tray/s tab or button. Touch this to be one step nearer to your tray settings.
Nowadays, most printers have two or more trays attached to their bodies. To make identification easier, such trays will have a certain number assigned to each (for example, Tray 1, Tray 2, etc.). So, you should now pick the Tray Name to specify which one’s settings you intend to change.
Tray Mode, Auto Select, and Priority are some features that most printers provide. These will help you determine what type of changes people can make to size and color settings while prioritizing one tray.
Once you have hand-picked the necessary features, go ahead and select the Paper Size, Media Type, and Color options. Upward and downward arrows or plus and minus buttons will be provided for increasing or decreasing numbers. Whether or not these details are stored permanently depends on the Tray Mode that you initially choose. Dedicated mode prevents other users from making changes while printing, whereas the Fully Adjustable mode will provide everyone with alternatives all the time.
If you are done making your desired changes, you can now proceed to click the OK button to end the procedure.
