The EQ-9800/9850 comes with 5 trays standard, in addition to a side-fed multipurpose tray used to print odd paper sizes, or sizes that are too small to fit into a tray.
Although the printer can be configured in a variety of different ways, these settings are recommended for ease of use with the Lucidiom software, and to save time during configuration.
If you choose to change these settings, please keep in mind that for optimal printer functionality, it is best to keep the largest paper sizes reserved for the bottom trays, moving up from tray to tray with the sequentially smaller sizes. This can prevent unwanted jams and errors in the printer. These tray settings also assume that the printer itself is configured properly with the recommended color profile and media settings. Please contact Technical Support for the latest Answer Book to ensure your printer is configured correctly.
**All 11x8.5, A4, and A5 trays should be set to feed long edge, when possible (this excludes 12x12 and 12x18 sizes and all scored products including 5x7 cards and Flip Books).
