My Tray 2 will not print on 8.5 X 11 (letter size) photo paper, It keeps spitting it out and says I need to add paper in tray 2. After being on phone for 3 hours with customer support 3rd agent I spoke to said tray 2 is only meant for plan paper... is...

Since I have happily thrown my Epson XP-850 in the garbage, several months ago, I'm not certain if I can answer your question, but as I recall, any specialty papers (other than plain paper) of that size have to be printed via the flimsly little pull out in the back of the printer. Best of luck to you.

Hi Mary, I will answer this if you only have one tray and then if you bought the optional 2nd tray as I did. With only 1 tray take out the paper and place your envelopes in. Then adjust the sides and fron of the tray to fit your envelopes. I place mine face down in the center of the tray. Then when you go to your word processor, you select print envelopes and follow the instructions. When you go to print select the envelope you are using adn the position. I use word and it would allow to place the envelopes to the left, middle, or right hand. If you have the optional tray 2 (it must be the bottom tray) you need to place your regular paper in that tray and setup that tray to be the default tray. Then you can keep envelopes in tray 1 the uppermost tray. When you go to print an envelope you select tray 1. You can also set your printer up to know that Tray 1 is envelopes and Tray 2 is 8.5 X 11 paper. Then most programs know to use tray 1 if you are printing an envelope. Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn't answer earlier.

Yes, that's the way I have mine setup. and I feed labels and envelopes through the manual tray. It knows what size paper is in each tray and automatically does it's thing.Great printer! there's even a wireless app for your tablet or phone. Scan and copy work well also.

Can you print collage size pictures on 8 1/2 X 11 photo paper on these? Do you have a photo printer ONLY that does?

I am sorry, but none of my clients have used that heavy paper in this printer. According to the online specs, the paper tray can only handle up to 28 lb stock.

One of two things, either not enough paper or too much paper. The only other issue that I can see would be that the paper tray is not extended all the way. Another possibility is that the printer is set up for photo paper when it should be set up for standard size letter paper. Hope that helps

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.

I've had one for about 3-4 years and just attempted to print business cards and have tried to print card stock in the past. Neither work. Putting in just one sheet at a time and using the premium matte paper setting didn't change anything. Any way I try the printer says out of paper / paper jam error and neither is true. Very disappointed on this part of the performance. Rest has been fine.

Epson -- you SUCK! An "Artisan" printer? Oh, spare me. If you try to print on any coverweight stock, the paper will JAM. It's ridiculous. Unacceptable. The paper tray feed on bottom is the WORST EVER! Why didn't Epson stick with top-loading paper feeds? My old Epson would take all kinds of different paper stocks and weights. The Artisan SUCKS!!!!

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!

Yes. That is what I have. Just lift up the printer and drop in on the new tray. The printer recognizes the tray immediately as tray 3 (which is marked on the front of the tray.) Then, go to the menu on the printer and configure the tray for the type and size of paper you will be using in it.

yes, I added to my 8600 plus and it works. but sometimes when the main tray runs out of paper, it does not pull from the extra tray. If I am printing it will not print directly from extra tray. but if I am in the middle of printing and the main tray runs out, it will pull from tray 2. but in order to print and the main tray is out, it will prompt me saying and paper to main tray. I do not understand, but over all it works for what I want it to do.

It does, but it sometimes it causes paper jams. For me, the 110# stock seems to work better from Tray 1 than the multi-purpose tray. From the printer menu, under tray configuration you can specify 3 card stock types. I have yet to figure out what the 3 different options mean. I've guessed that card stock number 3 is the heaviest weight stock, so I usually use this setting. I have the best luck using the MP tray with 80# cover and feeding each sheet one at a time. Works perfectly every time this way.

No David, it will not. I own this printer and the paper trays will not accomodate the 11x17 paper size. Even the top loader will not. To be sure, as someone has already stated that it will take this size of paper, I checked into the software prodived by Epson to double check what size paper they sell for this printer. Here is a copy and paste directly from the software. I only copied the section for the largest paper size given for this printer. It does take many smaller sizes.

I'm surprised, I think the document feeder is the best I've personally experienced of at least 4 printers of different makes. I would tell you about the same as Craig Kuper - thinking it is possibly the type of paper or try one of the techniques to create an air spacing temporarily between the pages. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, the trays can easily be configured to handle 11x17 paper, there are tabs inside the trays that you pinch/move to the appropriate paper sizes as shown in the tray. These is also a dial that you move in the tray to indicate to the printer what size of paper is loaded. This will also show on the tray front the type of paper loaded.

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?
