Do you have to select the tray you want every time you print, or does it default to one tray and you only choose when you need the exception?

You can set the printer to print by PDF form- if the doc is ltr or legal, the printer will automatically select the correct size. Works great

If you install the Tray 3 option (Q6459A), you are unable to specify in the Printer Setup Utility that it is installed. It seems to be printing from that tray by default however. My Windows XP box sees Tray 3 and can switch between trays with no problem.

Yes - However this printer sometimes has a mind of its own if you try and use the tray feed. If you do not put the paper/checks in AFTER you click the print button, it will pull from the letter tray instead of the feeder tray. Annoying to say the least, waste of paper, and at times I have to open both trays so it cannot pull from them to get the printer to recognize the feeder. I would not buy this machine again.

There are two trays with this printer. My printer can only fit two trays. One is legal and one is letter sized paper.

Yes, the default tray feeds letter and legal only. The manual feed tray is for odd sizes, photo paper and envelopes. I love this printer, especially the scanner.

You don't pick it, the printer does, usually when you click on a draft mode or grayscale. I barely ever had to replace this cartridge.

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.

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

the ink cartridges sit inside a tray. that way it's using the same printhead all the time and doesn't need to be realigned every time you change a cartridge. the name is a bit misleading, but it is very easy to change cartridges.

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.

When printing to CD/DVD, do you need a tray like you do in earlier printers or do you place a compatible disc directly in the unit naked? My MG6220 used a "Tray G". If you need a tray does one come with the unit and if not where do you get it? How is it designated (i.e. B, G etc.)?

Not sure what you mean. I would say that the multi-feed paper tray can act a a single feed tray. I have reversed a document and printed on the other side or other end of a sheet by this process.

I own a 8600 plus and to the best of my knowledge, you cannot just feed one sheet at a time. You can just load some letterhead in the tray, face up and print as normal.

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!

If you print envelopes a lot, like I do, I think it works well using the two-tray 8630 version. Here's how I did it. Plain Paper goes into tray two, envelopes in tray one (only place they are supported). Now, on the display choose your Default Tray as Tray 2 and Lock Tray 1. This will make sure regular print jobs go to plain paper in tray 2 and if it runs out of paper the printer won't automatically pull from tray 1 (that's what tray lock means). Now, via the Web Interface for the printer I told it that Tray 2 has plain letter size paper, and Tray 1 has my envelopes (you specify size there). Now, when I print an envelope it knows to pull from Tray 1 and everything else goes to Tray 2. On my Mac I've never had to tell it what tray to use, the printer just knows and pulls from the correct location. Your mileage may vary, etc.

Yes. you can choose which tray you want to be used on your print properties screen. If you have A or letter size in the top tray and B or tabloid size in the bottom tray it will automatically choose the proper tray based on paper size.

Somewhere in your program it has a box to check for printing one or two labels; if you check the two labels it will print both sides. If I only need to print one label and the other side is not used I just use it again for a single print label, put the label page in the printer with the label face down and first (with the used label part second)
