Paper Tray?? Ive been researching for a new printer. this one seems to have all that I am looking for. Thre reviews on amazon and other sites are mostly favorable.

This printer has an internal paper tray (referred to as the cassette) that will hold 150 sheets of plain paper. It's great because there is a tray selection mode called "Paper Allocation" where you tell the print driver what kind of paper is loaded in the cassette (I have plain paper in there.) When I print using plain paper the printer will access the cassette. But if I select some other type of paper then it automatically feeds from the rear tray. I never have to fuss with which tray to feed from. This is nice because I print on envelopes so I never end up printing an address on plain paper, or trying to print a letter on an envelope.

thanks for the info, This looked like a great printer, and with the $100 rebate, I already went ahead and ordered it.

The internal paper tray is not that great. It failed after only a few weeks use in my case. The printer kept saying it was out of paper. I contacted Canon about it and their only response was to show me how to use the rear paper feeder. So now I have a printer with only one paper feed, despite still being under guarantee. In every other way I'm really pleased with this printer. I only wish they'd do an A3 model (for not much more money!).

I wouldn't call it a tray. I've had that on other printers, and preferred it over the angled piece that stands paper up over the printer, as in this one. This works ok, though.

my machine doesn't have an output tray. The printed documents are fed out between the space above the printer's base and the automatic feeder/scanner mechanism. I'm not sure how many printed pages the "output" area holds and no, there is no "output" tray; the output area is part of the printer's base.

The paper feeder is at the rear of the printer. There is a black plastic piece that pulls up on the back. Paper goes against that with the clear plastic piece in front of the paper. Hard to describe in words! Also, agree with the other posters, this printer is crap. I donated mine to charity and bought an Epson Workforce - it's wonderful.

I have a new printer now so am not sure, but try unplugging both the power cord and the comm. cord to "boot" it. Leave it off for a few minutes. If that doesn't do the trick, make sure if it is locked (can't tell by your description) or whether it's just choosing the wrong tray all the time. Once in a while I actually had to resize the picture inside my photo editing software and then reprint because it kept wanting to 4 x 6 everything. (only once in a while) If I remember correctly, there are sliders inside the trays to make the paper snug. Check them and make sure they move back and forth like they're supposed to in case that might be the problem. Try moving the sliders in the larger try all the way to the outside??

Hello Thank you for sending me your query. One thing. I ordered this Catridge from AMAZON.COM as spare catridge. Still I am using the original catridge which came with the printer. Before buying it, I saw reviews in

It's not inside of the printer. When you open the front of the printer, you'll get two trays. The lower one is where you store the paper, and the top one is where your prints come out. So your paper supply sticks out for about a third of a paper length.

I have trouble with mine as well. I do know that you have to make sure the queue in your laptop/computer/etc. is clear. Some times it will not print a job. I finally give up and later when I go to print another job, it will print the one I could not get it to print. I just think it was a lousy printer and should have been taken off the market but companies are so greedy anymore they just don't care. I hope some one else can give you a better answer.

I think I know what you are asking. Paper selection is software driven, as with most printers. You tell the printer what size to print, the printer knows which tray is which. So you don't have to remember which tray has which kind of paper.

If your printer will not picking up the paper to print, try a cue tip dipped in alcohol and clean the roller or rollers on the printer. Fan the paper out to keep it from sticking to each other in the tray. I hope this will help you.

This model comes with one paper tray. If it runs out of paper, the faxes store and then print when you do put paper in. We had this happen to us this week. We got 5 to 10 faxes after putting more paper in.

I gave the printer a good review and I am still happy. I did have a paper jam problem a month ago and there was a piece of torn paper in the back of the paper tray. I would suggest you call the customer service and they will go with you step by step to look for the problem. If nothing is found, they will give you the closest repair shop (Brother pays if under warranty). Hope it works out but maybe you got a lemon.

Looking at the manual for your printer (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00911764.pdf), I didn't notice any reference to the printer accepting additional trays. To be sure, I'd suggest you chat with HP tech support online.

Awesome, thank you!! I am looking for a printer stand. It is a printer, copier, fax machine. its a Canon Image class MF8580cdw. It is a larger one. I am having a difficult time finding a stand. Would you happen to know if it would hold up to that?

Yes there is a tray - I like the fact that you don't see it - this printer is so sleek you have to look for it. You must read themanual to find certain things (like the paper tray or paper holder) but it is not that complicated. It's a really good printer!

Thanks for getting back to me. My problem is that the small one is the one that is getting empty, and the big one is still as full as when I first bought the printer. I print mostly documents, but don't know how to force the printer to use the big black cartridge. I am thinking of trying selecting "grayscale" more often, to see if that starts drawing down on the big cartridge. I have previously just selected color printing, even if doing only black and white documents.Again, thanks for answering my cry in the wilderness.Cheers!

I don't think mine does that. Mine sometimes like to print a couple pages and then say it has a paper jam whether it does or not. However, if I'm printing from my computer I do have a tendency to tell it to print, wait to hear it start and then walk away and come back a few minutes later. So it's possible that it does it and I don't notice. I have a lot more problems with it copying than printing from my computer. Mine love to eat the pages I try and feed it. I guess if it finishes the job I wouldn't worry too much. Unless you just got it, in which case I would recommend considering sending it back or calling customer service. I would not feel comfortable with a issue like that in a brand new piece of equipment.
