How to Configure a Printer Tray
If your printer contains multiple printing trays, then you can choose which tray to process a print job from when you send it from your computer. Configuring a printer tray works on both PC and Mac computers, but the option will only appear if your printer supports multiple trays. Printers with multiple trays typically hold different paper sizes in each tray.
