Has anyone figured out how to get the 2nd tray to show up in the software, so you can easily manipulate printing 2 kinds of paper ?

Right click on your printer icon, click properties, click the accessories tab, you will see tray 2 in the available options panel on the left. Highlight it and click the "Add(B)" button. Tray 2 will move to "installed options". You will see it added to the paper source setting below.

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.

Easy Peasy... just unpack it and set the printer on top! Took a little to figure out which was the default drawer, and you can switch them depending on what paper you want where. Over all very pleased.

The printer trays show options for different sizes paper including envelopes different sizes. I have not printed any envelopes yet. There is a user defined feature, where you can define your own document definitions. I would imagine if your envelopes are not pre programmed, you could do it there. I have used that feature for odd sized paper for quilt blocks and machine embroidery templates.

Either tray #1 or #2 can be used. Move the side bars all the way to the outside and pull back of the lever which is on the right side of the tray. When the lever is pulled back the entire front portion of the tray will release and extend back. Insert paper, slide the middle slide bar toward the back as is done when putting in 8 1/2x 11 eleven paper or envelopes. Move the side bars in just as is done when putting regular paper or envelopes in and the printer is ready to use. Paper as big as 13x19 can be used in the printer. Just reverse the procedure to bring the tray back to the normal size for your paper. Either tray #1 or #2 can be used.

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?

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

I disagree here with the other answers. I have envelopes in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2, then via the web interface I tell the printer what is in each tray. I've never had to choose during a print job, it just goes to the right tray for envelopes or letter size paper. Just for full disclosure this is on a 8630 and using a Mac. YMMV** Update ** This was done via the AirPrint driver, not the HP driver. See comment below on this for details.

Definitely through the manual feed. I have never tried to using the tray for multiple sheets.

I ordered and installed the lower paper tray on my MFC8910DW and have been very happy with it. It only took a couple of minutes to put it on. I have set it up for letter size paper ( since I use more of it and the lower tray has more capacity ) and the upper tray that came with the printer for legal paper.

You can add tray 1, 2 and MP to your drop down options. This can be done in properties tab. Each printing default can have its own tray ... For when you print legal or on security paper for that default you can have set to a specific tray or just choose the tray you want each time you print a document. Depending on the computer system you have each "properties" tab is slightly different.

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.

Yes you can add additional trays to this printer I have three in our system with added trays.

I use the top tray only for envelopes and the bottom one (which holds more paper) for regular printing. You have to program the printer by going into the paper setup for each tray. The top tray actually has a little impression of an envelope with the flap up so that you know which way to position the stack of envelopes. You will love it!

Some printers have special 4x6 trays included in the paper tray (for photos or whatnot - typically photo printing specific printers). If not, then trial and error with normal sized paper to figure out feed placement. I actually didn't use these for printing purposes though.

yes, I use the MP tray for checks and print multiple checks at one time. I use Tray 1 for letterhead and tray 2 for plain paper. Very versatile machine.
