the printer tries to pull paper from a tray that is different than

paper only from the tray that you selected and not pull
from another tray, even if the tray that you selected is
empty.

tray that you selected first, but allows the printer to pull
from another tray automatically if the tray that you
selected is empty.

the printer shows a prompt regarding pulling from tray 1 if
your print job does not match the type or size that is loaded

prompted before the printer pulls from tray 1.
■ UNLESS LOADED: The printer prompts you only if tray
