PostScript paper tray support
When the printer receives one of the operators listed in “Tray selected with tray operators” on page 13, it performs
the actions listed as follows. This paper tray selection process ends as soon as a suitable paper source is chosen and
paper is fed from this tray.
•The printer checks the value of manualfeed in statusdict and the ManualFeed page device parameter. If either
one is true, the printer sends a message to load the requested size in the manual feed tray or multipurpose feeder.
•The PageSize Policy is set to 2 by means of setpagedevice.
•The printer checks the paper size loaded in the current active source to determine if it matches the requested
size. If the sizes match, the paper is fed from the active source.
Note: The current active tray is the last source that was selected from the printer control panel or by the printer
language.
•If the requested size and the size loaded in the active source do not match, the sources are searched in the order
defined by the Priority array in the InputAttributes dictionary in the pagedevice dictionary.
•If the requested media size is not found by the previous search, the following search order is used:
–Tray 1
–Multipurpose Feeder/Manual Feeder
•If the requested size cannot be located in any automatic source, a configurationerror is issued and the job is
flushed.
For printers that support automatic duplexing:
•Automatic duplexing is not supported for custom-size paper or for envelopes in the multipurpose feeder.
Automatic duplexing is supported from the multipurpose feeder for all other papers.
•If the paper source is changed before the back side of a duplexed page prints, a blank back page prints, the paper
source changes, and the information for the back side of the page is printed on the front side of a page sent from
the new paper source.
When these operators are used, it is equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence:
<< /PageSize [x y]/ImagingBBox null /Policies << /PageSize 2>> >>
setpagedevice
where x y are the PageSize in points.

PostScript envelope size support
The literal names in “Envelope sizes supported” on page 14 are also supported as operators in userdict. These
operators change the image size, but do not change the active paper source. Therefore, when these operators are
used, part of the image may be clipped.
When these literal names are used as operators, it is equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation
sequence. The following example uses a 3.875 x 7.5 envelope.

PostScript envelope tray support
If manualfeed in statusdict and the ManualFeed page device parameter are false when the printer receives one of
the envelopetray operators listed in “Envelopetray operator selections” on page 16, then the printer:
•Sets the PageSize Policy to 0.
•Checks the active source to see if it matches the requested envelope size. If the sizes match, the envelope is fed
from the active source.
Note: The active source is the last source selected from the printer control panel or data stream.
•If the requested size and the size loaded in the active source do not match, the sources are searched in the order
defined by the Priority array in the InputAttributes dictionary in the pagedevice dictionary.

•If the requested size and type are notavailable from anyautomatic source, you areprompted to load therequested
envelope size and type in the manual feed source.
•If the size is still not available, a configurationerror is issued and the print job is flushed.
If manualfeed or ManualFeed is true, the printer prompts you to load the requested size manually. If no manual feed
exists on the printer, a rangecheck error message is generated
The envelope tray the printer selects when it receives an envelopetray operator is listed in “Envelopetray operator
selections” on page 16. These operators are equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence:

where x y is the PageSize in points.

1Combined weight is based on the heaviest model (E460dw).
2Printer weight includes the print cartridge which ships inside the printer.
3Measured with multipurpose feeder extension and the paper stop in the standard exit binincollapsed or closed positions.
4Measured with the paper size set to Letter.
5Total height of all printers installed on an optional drawer (250 or 550) is 1.5 mm (0.1 in.); this is shorter than the combined
height of the individual items due to the interlocking fit of the printer and drawer.
