We have a number of Lexmark printers. These guys have a setting for the paper
type loaded in each tray. The Xerox is similar, but does not seem as robust. Both trays are defined as "plain paper". So, it is confusing that the printer
would use tray two instead of tray one. It would be nice if the Xerox service
person would actually contact me.

Quoting Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

I do not know about the Xerox printer specifically but with in printer
files you can select which drawer to print from. HP uses drawer 1 for
manual feed and the two real drawers are 2 and 3. We had to change our
drawer to 2 to pull from the first paper tray and 3 for our letter head.
Also you must tell the printer, via front panel, what paper is in each
tray. We use plain and letterhead in our printer configurations.

Subject: Printer tray selection

I am puzzled. I created a printer device description for a Xerox M20i.
It works *almost* flawlessly. Perhaps totally so. The issue is that
the printer has two trays, and tray two has printed forms. For some odd
reason, tray two is being selected instead of tray one. My first
thought is that this is an issue within the printer itself, and not
under my control. I have been attempting to contact the on-site Xerox
rep to look at this.

When that printer receives a FAX, it prints from tray one.

Is there something in the printer that tells it to use tray two for
printing? I have not seen anything, so far, via the web interface.
