The printer will not accept the default tray for printing and each time I attempt to print it goes to load manual. Help????

Go to menu, in tray tray behaving tray1 select as unless paper load,in tray2 page size as any size.. while giving print command select printer properties, goto paper/quality select paper source automatic or tray2 & shoot print command & check...
# if you are not selected tray 1 as unless paper load, it will ask paper to load after command reached to it.
# if you are not selected tray2 as any paper size, defined paper size only it will allow to print..any paper size it will print with out questing you..

Please check your printer driver to see if the default tray is tray 2 or other than the manual feed tray and take the paper out of the manual tray.

Becouse the tray configured in the printer is tray #1 so it serching the paper on tray 1 first you can set it the default tray by the menu on top of the printer.

You need to change the default tray. Thats the reason its printing one page at a time. You can change the default tray to draw paper from two ways, by using the controls on the printer itself or by changing the settings when you print a document.

To change it on the printer, go to menu on the printers keys and scroll the options until you find the print settings. Use the up and down arrows to scroll and press enter or OK when you find print settings. Continue to scroll until you see the default paper tray and change it from the manual feed choice to the default paper tray.

If changing from the print settings in the computer, when in a document that you want to print go to file at the top of the page and then print and click on preferences. Click the tabs at the top until you see the paper tray that is currently being used and click the arrow next to it to change it to another. Then click "ok" and close everything.

Are you trying to use the "MPF" (Manual Paper Feed) tray?

If you are then the manual paper feed tray is usually a fold down flap at the back of the printer. It only accepts on piece of paper at a time.

However, if you are just trying to print to the printer's default tray, then you need to check both the "Page Setup" in the application and the printer driver properties to make sure that you are calling the correct paper tray.

Don

does the printer pickup the paper from tray 1?
if not check the roller, it may time for replacement.
2- make sure the computer program is set at autofeed as default.
or tray 1 as default.

paper guide was set at A5, then this allowed menu to change feed tray selection

Manual 2-sided printing. Most of the supported media sizes and types listed for printing from tray 1 can be manually duplexed. Do not use the 2–sided printing feature on transparencies, envelopes, or labels.

I found this note in the 3600 service manual. Maybe it will help.

I found out that each time you print from the manual load tray, i.e. letters and labels, once you have the paper in the manual load tray press print and then press the demo button to start the manual feed. I hope this helps.

when you go to the menu of the printer is the paper TYPE set correctly?

tray 2 should be letter ( if using plain paper)

tray 3 legal, label etc...

and tray 1 should be any
