it's pretty simple. can find manual on line at Brother website.just have to set paper size in each tray. use the buttons on the printer itself. if you want, let me know your email, I'll walk you through it

Did you go to your menu, devise printer, where ever that is and check to see if it shows your printer with the tray.? If if does, it should print, provided you have set the printing preferences correctly, to automatically print either tray. It's been a while, but I don't really recall getting any manual other than the instructions that came with it. I think most of these added trays work pretty much the same way.

Have to configure tray#2. Hit OK, 2. Down Arrow Step to "Paper Tray", 3. OK " Tray Use", 4. OK " Auto", 5. "Back" 6. Step down arrow till "Tray2 Size" hit OK them select letter or legal hit OK. Note that tray1 may already set up for letter but I found I like tray2 for letter and tray1 for legal in either case you have to check both configurations. Good Luck ! Pat F.

Go in to Control Panel, find your printer and double click on it. Select Customize, then go into Accessories. Click on auto-detect and it should find your 2nd tray. If not, manually tell it you have one. Select paper size for each tray. Apply and that should fix things up.

Use your file/print menu. Advanced settings. Designate your lower tray as the letter size and the upper tray as legal.
1687886
What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked
1687887
Go into the properties for your printer. Set it to seeing 2nd tray. Then set the trays according to paper size they carry. The printer will print to correct tray automatically, according to what is needed. I added an extra memory bar to my printer and it runs so quick and smooth. I love this printer!

Look at the users manual for the MFC8710DW printer. This will show you how to configure the printer tray to be recognized and configured to be used as a dual tray printer. The additional tray will allow for the use of both letter and legal size paper.

Sorry, I really don't know. I still have my manual that came with the machine. I know how to do everything I use it for so I don't have to look at the manual any more. It would be worth a try though.

Franklin, I bought this printer a year ago and my problem is annoying paper jams, over and over and over..... which means I have to remove the back and extricate the paper. As far as your print head is concerned, I experienced that once. I turned off the power, unplugged the printer, removed both cartridges and waited about 20 minutes before powering it up again. The printer seemed to recognize that it was missing the cartridges and immediately rebooted to receive them. In the final analysis, I have regretted this purchase.... good luck. BILL

I had to reset when I changed the drum unit, and I messed up my settings! This web site answered my questions: http://www.brother-usa.com/FAQs/Solution.aspx?FAQID=200000037147&ProductID;=HL6180DWT&Keyword;=#.VaqDnPlVhBc You may have to cut and paste that link. Basically, you have to make sure you use your arrow buttons on the machine itself to designate the type of paper in each tray.

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??

Do you mind if I ask you a question about the Canon Pixma 990? It just arrived this morning, and I can't get the printhead assembly to set correctly. The printhead lock lever comes down on the printhead assembly itself, meaning I need to move the assembly further into the printer... but it won't budge. To add to that, now I can't even get the assembly back out.Steve W se.webb@att.net

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Loading staples wasn't intuitive for me either. Look on YouTube for the guy having his 4 yr old demo the proper way. It is simple.Hint. Turn stapler bottom up, slide out the tray, then drop staples point-up into the body of the stapler, close it up. Voila.

I haven't used this printer in two years, mine jammed from unknown reasons, and after many fruitless hours trying to get it repaired, I've moved on. However IIRC the dedicated photo tray, just under the drying tray, is sized for 4x6 paper. Open the tray load the paper and slide photo tray forward. The printer if it's working properly should then pick up the paper from that tray. Unfortunately, while trying to get mine fixed, I read many reports of the printer failing to pick up paper from that tray. If it doesn't work automatically there is no way to force it to use that tray. I wish I could be more help.

No, this printer defaults to the original tray. If that is empty, then it will draw from this tray automatically. That said, when you print, you can always specify which tray the printer will use. I would check out the printer settings to see if you can change the default, or just put the old paper in the original tray.

There is a manual load and one tray, you can load the paper you like but you may need to change the printer configuration for card stock. Going to the printer IP number using a browser.

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

There's only one paper tray that is used to print from. If you run out of paper, the incoming document and/or the confirmation page of an outgoing document should print out once the paper tray is refilled. The data should go into memory unless for some reason the function is stopped manually. I apologize for not knowing exactly how much memory this machine has. I think it's about 50 pages depending on page density. Hope this helps.

You don't change the tray settings on the computer. If you want to use the manual feed tray in the back of the printer you just insert paper until it registers. The little screen on the front of the printer will tell you if it's in there right. If there's paper in the manual feed and the printer knows it, that's where it will print from. If there's no paper in the manual feed it will automatically default to the front tray. Paper must be inserted in the manual feed tray before hitting print on your computer. I'm not a fan of the way this works!

Hi, Marie. I believe I have seen confirmation pages out of this printer, but I'm not sure exactly how to get them. Good luck getting this information more concretely! At this point, I'm curious about what the manual says!

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.

Just had the same problem about 3 or 4 months ago. I went through all manual instructions and web suggestions. Clean head, run goofy printer maintenance etc. Just barely prints black and no color. Would be nice if their software would just fix their stinking printer. Was speaking to my ink guy (he has become rich off my Canon ink needs) and he said he would try to fix for free. Yes, scared me also. I am taking next week and if he can I will try to determine what he did and let you know. Otherwise it is just a rotten Canon printer. Almost makes you think they have a program that checks the date and when a certain date .... Maybe I am getting paranoid.. but after using a PIXMA that can happen.
