Why does it indicate "Paper Type Does Not Match"?

Just upgraded from an older Epson Workforce printer to this one. I use tray 1 to print #10 envelopes. Went into the settings > Paper type > hit tray 1 > selected #10 envleope and envelope paper. I go into Microsoft Word and do the "create an envelope" and type in my address. Click print and the screen on the printer says: "paper type does not match the paper source setting." It asks me to confirm that I want to print on a #10 envelope (Yes/No). How do I stop this from coming up again? I did not have to do this on my old printer. I print many envelopes on a daily basis for work. This is a big inconvenience to walk up to the printer and confirm a second time to print.

SOURCE: printing an envelope in cs3 on an epson stylus photo r1800

You can try using Microsoft word in printing on envelopes, it is easier. On my MS word>tools>letters and mailings>envelopes and labels>click on feed and use the fourth from the left option.
Load the envelope at the right side of the printer> the envelope flap should be on the left facing the printer.

SOURCE: Epson Stylus NX400 While printing envelopes, I keep getting a black ink blot on the bottom right hand corner of the envelopes. It happens to about every 1 out of 4 envelopes. I printed the return addr

Envelopes can give all sorts of problems Back corner is flicking up. Try rolling the envelopes in the opposite direction to the "bowing" as they have been through machine once.

How do I print on 11 x 14 paper? According to the online manual, the Epson WF - 7620 does print 11 x 14. And that is why I bought the printer, but I cannot figure it out!

Load A3 size paper on the lower tray.
Verify you see A3 as an option in paper setuo on the printer screen against tray 2.
Make sure you have selected A3 on the software before you print.

Epson WF-3529 printer seems to feed two sheets at a time when printing

In some countries, due to moisture in the air, during some weather conditions, this is common.
Fan paper well before loading in the tray.
Also depends on the type of paper.
Use manufacturer recommended grade. gsm80 in most cases.

My Epson WF 2650 printer is showing error code 0xF1, how do I fix it?

Hi,

Please check for paperjams within your printer tray. Remove any pieces of stuck paper, then restart your printer and your error should go away. Thank you.

I am not getting good color on my print out

Are you trying to print photographs on plain paper? Epson WorkForce printers are designed for fast office-type printing, not photo quality printing.
If you use photo-paper (specifically, Epson photo paper), and "best" quality setting, it should be better. Your color may not exactly match what you see on your screen, though. Welcome to the wonderful world of "color management".

It says paper size does not match the paper source setting, Print on Letter No Yes Remind later

Check paper tray it might have a movable plastic thing that sets the paper size . Check printer properties on settings - printers - Epson Workforce printer properties. Check software you are printing from that it has page setup and printer setup paper size set correctly

Lexmark T644 Drawer 2 Missing error message but drawer 2 is in place. Drawer 2 always has problems pulling form form drawer when printing from drawer 2.

If job prints from the wrong tray or on the wrong paper or specialty media, this is an indication that the operator panel menu settings do not match the media loaded in the tray.

Make sure the Paper Size and Paper Type specified in the printer driver match the paper size and type in the tray.

For further assistance, please contact Lexmark Technical Support

HP Lazer 4300dtn keeps trying to print from tray 1. How can I set the default to tray 2?

Selecting which tray is used for printing

You can select how the printer pulls paper from the trays.

Understanding tray order

When the printer receives a print job, it selects the tray by trying to match the requested paper

type and size with what has been loaded in the trays. Using an "autoselect" process, it searches

all available trays for the paper that satisfies the request, starting with the bottom tray and ending

with the top tray (tray 1). The printer begins printing the job as soon as it finds the proper type/

size.

Note The "autoselect" process occurs only if no specific tray is requested for the job. If a specific tray

is requested, the job prints from the requested tray.

 If paper is loaded in tray 1 and tray 1 is set TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY on the

Paper Handling menu, the printer will always pull paper from tray 1 first. See "Customizing

tray 1 operation" on page 47 for more information.

 If the search fails, a message appears on the printer control panel display requesting that

you load the correct paper type/size. You can load that paper type/size, or you can override

the request by selecting a different type/size at the printer control panel.

 If a tray runs out of paper during a print job, the printer automatically switches to any tray that

contains the same paper type/size.

The autoselect process changes somewhat if you customize tray 1 operation (as explained in

"Customizing tray 1 operation" on page 47) or set tray 1 for manual feed (as explained in
"Manually feeding paper from tray 1" on page 49). See if this works. Good luck !

Epson workforce 600 continue to get paper jam error and there is no paper jam..

If this message appears when you turn the printer on it will need a repair, this will be down to a sensor fault.
If this message appears when you try to print Check you are using the correct paper type and size settings, on the printer if being used standalone or via the printer driver if using via a computer.
Also try using a different paper type and brand ideally Epson paper as it is an Epson printer. If the fault continues the printer will need a service.
As this printer was released this year you should be covered by some form of warranty, contact Epson for a service.
