MP tray printing
I use word 2003, and a brother laser printer that has a MP tray
(multipurpose). The settings on the printer properties is to automatically select the tray to use, yet WORD insists on using the MP tray, though it is not set up to print from there. Brother says there is a setting that has to be changed in WORD. It automatically selects the correct tray when using wordpad. Where is the setting and how can I change it? Thanks. |

In Word, click on File | Page Setup | Paper, and choose the Paper Source you
want. "Industrious Annette" wrote: I use word 2003, and a brother laser printer that has a MP tray (multipurpose).

I have done that by setting it to automatically select the tray yet it is not
selecting the tray that has the paper in it. "garfield-n-odie" wrote: In Word, click on File | Page Setup | Paper, and choose the Paper Source you want.

Well, that's the only place in Word where you can change the tray
choice. Another place where you might be able to change the tray choice is in the Windows printer driver, which you can access from Word by clicking on File | Print | Properties, or from Windows by clicking on Start | Control Panel | Printers | right-click on your printer | Properties. Or there could be menu/function buttons on the printer itself that let you choose which tray to look in first (my old Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 has these). Lastly, if you are printing to a custom paper size or an envelope size, then I think Word automatically prints to the manual tray regardless of which tray you have selected.

I have found the solution, in case anyone else needs the answer. In Word you
go to tools, options, print and select automatically select. Mine print opions were set at MP tray so it always wanted to print to the MP tray. Thanks for your suggestions!
