If you have a printer that contains multiple printer trays then you can set your printer to alternate between printer trays during a long print. This is useful if you do not have much paper in the entire printer and want to reload it as you go. Alternatively, it is useful if you need different pages printing on different types of paper. This way you can print in different colors or with different thicknesses of paper depending on your need. This is controlled through the print options in Windows. This is only available to users who have printers capable of multi-tray printing.
Instructions
1. Click "Start" > "Devices and Printers." Right-click your printer and click "Printing Preferences."
2. Click "Paper source" and then choose how the trays are loaded. This particular configuration will be dependent on your printer so options will vary.
3. Click "OK" when you are done.
4. Locate the file you want to print on your computer, select it and click "Print" on the toolbar to print it from alternating paper trays.
