I have selected the front tray as paper source but it stops the print job and asks to select back tray. I don't want it to do this! Dana Ellis

WILL THE PAPER FEED AND NOT PRINT? HAVE YOU GONE TO PRINTER SERVICES AND TRIED TO PRINT TEST PAGE? ARE YOU SETUP TO SHOW BACK TRAY IS SELECTED AS PAPER SOURCE?

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..

To use the Rear Tray for your current print job (this should last until you close Word) :
Use Ctrl+P to open the printer window. Click on the Properties button. On the Quick Setup tab find the Paper Source drop-down and select Rear Tray. Click the OK button.

To permanently set the Rear Tray as the default:
Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel and select Printer. In the popup window right click on your printer icon and select Properties. On the General tab, click the Printing Preferences button. On the Quick Setup tab find the Paper Source drop-down and select Rear Tray. Click the Apply button, then the OK button.

You can set the default paper source for all print jobs. Tray 1 is the default factory settings, only an installed paper source will appear as a menu setting. A paper source selected by a print job will override the Default Source setting for the duration of the print job. Check the word processor print settings, make sure that it matches with the printer paper menu settings. To do this you may click print and click on properties button. Click on the paper tab and you can set the input options like paper size, paper tray (source) and paper type.

If the Print Settings pages print, the problem is isolated to printing
from your computer. The Paper Source of the Brother printer driver or
program you are printing from may be set to MP Tray or Manual, instead
of Auto Select, Tray 1, or Tray 2 (if the optional paper tray is
installed). To check the Paper Source setting of most programs, click

Source tab or Paper tab depending on your software application. Verify

Auto Select, or another relevant source such as Tray 1. Click OK. Try printing the document again.


No paper in the paper cassette.
1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.

2. Insert the letter or legal size paper into the paper tray with the
top edge of the paper first and the print side down. Make sure that the
paper is flat in the tray and below the maximum paper mark. If using a
paper size other than letter or legal, the paper should be loaded in the
MP Tray. The MP Tray can print on paper from 2.75 in. by 4.57 in. up to8.5 in. by 16 in.

3. While pressing the blue paper-guide release lever, slide the paper

Absolutely. Just click on the "PROPERTIES" button found on the "PRINT"menu. Find the "PAPER SOURCE" option, open it and select "Manual Paper Tray" or "Manual MPT". As soon as you confirm your print job, you unit will display a message asking for paper on the manual tray, which is the horizontal slot just above the paper tray. Insert each legal paper manually until your print job is done.

I had the same problem with a customer, to resolve this issue:

> Go to the printers folder
> Right click on the printer
> Go to printing preferences
> Under the paper source settings change it from autoselect to Tray1 and save the settings.

This will force the printer to print to tray1.

That fixed it for me, hope it works for you too.

this is the link to the manual if you need it http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pd... page 47 shows how to manually describe the paper type in each tray - after that, when printing click on properties and select paper type - it should automatically select the correct tray - if you want the same paper in more than one trays, it will always use the first one first, then start using the others. Hope this helps :)
