"Choos the right tray and send the job to print"

Could it be "bandeja" or "travessa" is better in this context?

Thanks!

bandeja or gaveta
Explanation:
The above are the usual words for printers. "Gaveta" is a drawer, the typical shape of the internal paper source in a printer.

"Bandeja" (= tray) is the best choice, as the drawer, when removed, looks like one. Gaveta is more restrictive.

Do not use "travessa". It is either a tray for serving food on the table, or it may mean "cross-beam", totally out of context.
