To let the printer know which media are loaded, you assign the media to a paper tray.
In case you want to load media in advance for one or more jobs you select media from the media catalog and assign the media to one or more available paper trays.
For scheduled document jobs, the schedule knows which media and how much media the jobs need. From the schedule you can load media for a scheduled job, which is an automatic assignment.
When a paper tray is empty, the printer automatically retrieves sheets from the next paper tray that holds the same media. As long as you load the same media in a paper tray, it is not necessary to repeat the assignment.
NOTE
If the [Automatically unassign media from opened tray] setting is enabled, you need to reassign the media every time you open the paper tray.
