When a paper tray is set to Fully Adjustable mode, you can change paper settings each time that you load the tray. When you close the tray, the control panel prompts you to set the paper size, type, and color of paper loaded.

When a paper tray is set to Dedicated mode, the control panel prompts you to load a specific paper size, type, and color. If you move the guides to load a different paper size, the control panel displays an error message.

To configure the tray settings for Fully Adjustable or Dedicated mode, click on Configure, Modify or Verify Paper Tray Settings (Fully Adjustable/Dedicated, Priority, Auto Selection).
