Will the printer autoselect the paper size between the trays?

I believe it wont, You have to pick what tray you want to print from using your preference before starting

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.

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.

Yes, you can tell it what kind of paper is in the manual feed tray in the settings and it will print automatically to either the legal paper in the autofeed tray or the legal paper in the manual feed tray, depending on what you have selected in acrobat or MS Office documents. You can always select which tray to use manually as well through the printer option in the software.

No. Printing speed remains the same, no matter which tray you are using. However, if the machine decides not to use the manual feeder tray, then there is a waste of paper.

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, 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.

Yes, it works very well --- however, and it is a BIG however - every time you want to switch paper, ie from legal to letter you must reset the print settings to the proper tray. So, it is not automatic - you must select the tray. I do find it better than removing the paper and inserting a different size.

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.

not automatically, no duplex..I suppose you could use the feeder and then flip the paper over, but that goes for any printer

Yes it can, and it does it very well. You can purchase the extra tray and it will do it automatically. You can also feed different size paper through manual feed tray. I love this little workhorse. Super fast too.

Yes....We use it in a Retail environment. One tray prints on blue paper and the other yellow. Just set it up in the printer properties or your software.

(76 x 127 mm to 216 x 356 mm) Tray 1: Custom sizes: 3 x 5 in. to 8.5 x 14 in. (76 x 127 mm to 216 x 356 mm) Tray 2 (optional): Custom sizes: 5.8 x 8.3 in. to 8.5 x 14 in. (148 x 210 mm to 216 x 356 mm) Thanks, PCrush

Yes, I have printed quite a number of envelopes using this printer. You must adjust the two paddles on the feed tray to fit the width of the envelopes.

Yes. Just above the paper tray and open to the front is a feed slot with adjustable guides (not visible in the photo). They open as wide as a normal piece of paper so you can use it to print legal size without having to change the paper in the paper tray. It also has markings for standard envelope sizes.

Yes, mine will only see the paper if I fill the tray about 1/2 way. Put less paper in each time and you wont have the issue anymore. Too bad too, because it is a great printer otherwise.

Yes.Go to Setup Menu; clk on Preferences, then on the right edge clk on the down arrow once; set the default tray to whichever tray has the "old paper" in it.

Can the extra paper tray do envelopes as opposed to regular sheets of paper?
