When the LaserWriter Select 360 runs out of paper in one tray it can
automatically switch between the paper cassette and the multipurpose
tray. Using automatic tray switching between the 250-sheet paper
cassette and the 50-sheet multipurpose tray, you can print 300 sheets
without reloading paper.
You can use automatic tray switching with the optional cassettes, as
well.
Tray Switching Default:
A tray switch can occur if and only if the following two criteria are
met:
1. The tray it's switching to has the same media (same size paper,
transparency, and so on.).
2. The tray it's switching to is not empty.
The possible default switching procedures that can be executed depend
on whether the optional 250 or 500 sheet feeder is installed.
If an optional feeder is not installed, the printer, upon running out
of paper in either tray, checks the other available tray to see if the
tray switching criteria is met. If so, it automatically switches to
that tray.
If the optional feeder is installed, the printer, upon running out of
paper, checks the other two trays using the following priority: the
standard cassette, the multipurpose tray, the optional cassette, and
then the envelope tray. If the first tray checked matches the above
criteria, the printer automatically switches to that tray. If it does
not, the printer checks the other available tray for a criteria match
and switches to it if the criteria is met.
Note: The Multipurpose tray can not be sensed for media type (only for
the availability of media) so it is assumed that it contains only the
default paper size. The user should not enable automatic tray
switching if it is not known whether the multipurpose tray contains
paper that matches the default paper size.
