Auto select paper

HP photosmart 7525 windows XP
Cannot make the printer auto select the paper draw it pulls from. Will only pull from whichever paper size is in the printer configuration. All my other printers if you select 8.5 X 11 it will pull from that tray or if you say print photo paper it pulls from that tray.

Hello vencowings
The printer preferences need to be set so that the printer knows what paper type and size you are printing too.

PDF auto select paper tray based on paper size

* this was originally posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2586377&tstart=0 but I was informed I was in the wron g forum.
I have a Windows pc only for 1 thing - printing pdfs. My problem is that Windows printer drivers allow me to have auto select paper size/tray depending on if the pdf page is standard or legal. I have not yet found anyway to do this through the mac.
I have a Brother HD-5370 laser printer and need some assistance with the paper auto select. If any one has any suggestions or an actual fix, I am all eras.
I have used Snow Leopard, Leopard as well as 10.4 and the problem is with any pdf viewer I have tried (viewer, adobe reader, other 3rd party which names escape me). The option to auto select printing by pdf page size is selected and the drawers are set correctly. It just won't print how it's supposed to.
any sugegstions,
Dan

This has been an issue for at least 3 years now. I have checked for driver sin the past and have tried to look up answers via Brothers website - all to no solution to my problem. It just may be that Brother's printers do not have this feature. The options do show as valid options though.
The printer is currently connected to a Windows pc located on a different floor. So in order to test, I have to move the printer or the mac.

Paper source auto-select problem

Hi, I just set up a new MF6160DW, on a Windows 7 PC, and it seems to work well except for 1 setting I can't understand. I'd like the printer and copier to use drawer 1 for all printing, but to auto-detect paper in the multi-purpose tray, and prioritize that source whenever paper is present. The default settings in the Windows "Devices and Printers" for the UFRII LT driver "Preferences" Paper Source is set to "Auto". When I use the 6160's Menu-> Common Settings -> Printer, the only option shown is for Drawer 1, no multi-purpose tray. For copying, I've been able to set Multi-Purpose tray priority, but copying is not possible without paper in that tray (i.e.: it won't automatically shift to Drawer 1 if the MP tray is empty). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Pableau

Hi Rich:
Point One, your are working with two sources of page setup information - 1. The print information that is set in the printer control panel. 2. The print information that Word Page Setup sends to the printer overriding the printer internal defaults. Word remembers printer setup by each document. I have been trying to get a definition of the different items under Word page setup with out sucess.
I would setup the printer control panel defaults as you woul use the printer from you web browser for printing or as you would use the printer as a stand alone device. Using WORD, use the page set up menu and direct the document to be printed by using Tray 2 Legal and Tray 1 as letter or envelope as an example.

Can mac auto select pages for print by size

Hello, does anyone knows if there is a way how to set up on Mac auto selecting for printing pages by size? I need it to print loan documents for my notary public business. Using HP laser dual tray printer.

Hello Shane,
I am notary public and I would recieve file with documents that need to be printed on both legal and letter size paper. I used Adobe Acrobat from my husband's Windows computer which sorts the documents by paper size and then print's them out on correct size paper.
The printer I have is HP Laserjet 400 M401n.
Thank you for your help

Photosmart 6525- auto select tray

How do i get my photosmart 6525 printer to auto select the correct tray (main or photo) without having to go into preferences and manually switch it? I print on 4 x 6 for photos and then use regular 8 x 10 paper to print word documents. Going into the settings to switch trays each time is frustrating. Anyone have a solution?

Hello jtj360 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you would like to have the printer switch the print setting automatically.
This, unfortunately, is not an option. You will have to change the print setting manually.

P2035 not auto selecting tray

For one of my users (P2035 / Windows 8) we are encountering the following new problems.
Under printing preferences:
Size: letter
Source: Auto Select
Type: Plain Paper
In multiple programs ( WordPerfect & Printing from Chrome browser )
If there is paper in tray 2 AND paper in tray 1 (the bypass tray) it will print from tray 2.
Previously it would detect that there is paper in tray 1 and print from tray 1. This is what I think of as “auto select”
If I load paper in tray 1 and remove tray 2 from the machine it will print from tray 1.
In our postage program (Stamps.com) we had it set to “auto select” for the source, but now it pulls plain paper from tray 2 even if there is an envelope in tray 1. I set it to “tray 1" and got the same results.
So I set the source to “manual feed from tray 1". And then it prompts to load paper and press the “go” button on the printer. Since the envelope is already in tray 1, I press the go button and it prints fine.
I have tried uninstalling the printer and reinstalling it from the original disk and I have tried the PLC5 driver without success.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
More info:
This morning I swapped the printer that is giving me the problems (P2035) with another printer (P2015). The P2015 works fine, however the P2035 is still giving me the exact same issues at the new desk, I was not expecting that, and it makes me think it might be a hardware or firmware issue.
If it would never pick up from the bypass tray I would think that the switch that indicates paper in the bypass tray was defective, but with tray 2 removed it sees the paper in the bypass tray just fine.
Any thoughts?
Is there anyway to re-install or update the firmware?
Thanks

If the other network will not work with your mobile devices, you can remover that network or networks from your settings and then the iPad will not join them at all - unless you manually select them and join them again on your own.
Settings>WiFi>Tap on the blue arrow next to the name of the network that you want to remove. In the next window, tap on "Forget This Network". That will remove the unwanted network from the iPad and it will only join the mobile network that is listed in the settings - if that is the only network listed for the school.
I assume that this is would be OK with the IT folks if they dont want you to use the other networks, but what bothers me is why they would have set your iPad put so that you could use that network in the first place.

Auto selection of file from folder during uploading??

Hi all friends,
Iam facing with one problem I am developing one uploading software for that i have used swing and servlet.Now my problem is i want to give auto selection of file from one folder means user just copy the files from any computer on network and paste it in predefind folder.And when they click on upload button it should start uploading of file one by one and after completion of uploading it move that file into another folder one by one.Now my software doing it perfectly but if user copy and paste any file in that predifined folder from network computer during uploading then they have to click upload button again after completion of first queue of files(for example if user first copy 10 files and start uploading and inbetween uploading of that 10 files if user copy another 10 files from network computer then they have to click on upload button again after completion of uploading of first 10 files).But my user requirement is they want to click on upload button once only at the time of starting my application and my application automatically select the file one by one from folder and send it to destination.Means if they copy the file from network machine inbetween uploading or any other user from network send file in that folder then my application should select those file automatically and start uploading means they don't want to click on upload button again.Can any one plz guide how I can slove this problem.Below r my codes:-
Upload.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
suspendflag=true;
Resume.setEnabled(false);
Suspend.setEnabled(false);
dest=frame.m_txtURL.getText();
File ff=new File("d:\\DTMS\\Upload");
File[] files = ff.listFiles();
fileList = new Vector();
if(files == null)
textArea.append("There is no file");
return;
else
for (int j = 0 ; j< files.length ; j++)
fileList.add(files[j]);
java.util.Collections.sort(fileList, new FileComp());//sorting by size
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
for (int k = 0; k < fileList.size(); k++)//loop for queue {
File fname = (File)fileList.get(k);
String str=fname.getName();
log("Destination:" +" "+ dest);
log("Uploading Progress\nPlease Wait....");
result=doPost(fname,dest);//method for read file & send to servlet
String str2="Transfer apparently failed.";
String str3=result;
if(str2.equals(str3)){
Error(result);

How can I select paper size while in print preview ?

I have a printer with four different paper trays, and each one is loaded with different size of paper: A3, A4, Legal, envelopes. When I use IE 11, I can easy go to print preview, click on page setup (little gear icon), select paper size , margins, etc.. there, and when i hit OK, the page is adjusted to the settings I selected and its ready to print, and printer selects the proper size of the paper automatically
In Firefox v32, I can almost do this same, but I'm stuck with printing only on A4 style paper, as I don't see where to select the paper I want to print on !
I tried to select A3 and legal paper in the printer driver, but then firefox used the selected paper, but printout on the paper came out as set to A4 size, and rest of the page was empty ! Also I was not able to see the page preview of the selected paper either. How do I then print on other size papers than a4 ?
I found only one workaround which does not suits my needs but works: First: Go to printer driver and select legal or A3 paper as default, and then open firefox. If I do that i can print on any paper I select, but thats a horrible workaround, because then I often forget to change the default paper size back inside the printer driver, and i print my documents on wrong paper, wasting paper, ink and time...
Please let me know if there is a way to fix this printing feature somehow.
Thanks.

MichalB,
Sorry, IMO there is no real "fix" for what you are experiencing. Printer prefs set or changed in the operating system won't affect Firefox printing ''[IMO, either ancient code in Firefox or a "cross-browser thing".]'' Firefox has its' own settings for prefs and it defaults to the "last used" for all printer preference setting. And there is no way to set a pref as "use now and return to my defaults after this print job is completed".
As you have found out, there is no way of changing paper size from the Print Preview screen. Other prefs - Margins & Header/Footer can be changed via Page Setup and you can see changes in the Preview window, but not for paper size. As ''CoryMH'' mentioned, '''paper size''' is selected thru what called the "native print dialog" box using the '''Properties''' button which shows a window provided by your printer software for the Printer which is selected in the "native print dialog" window, and accessed after you hit the Print button in the Print Preview screen.
Problem is that you can't '''"preview"''' what is going to be printed when you change paper size. If you go back to Print Preview without printing from the "native print dialog" the change for Paper Size isn't saved for viewing in Print Preview!
IMO, it would be nice if Firefox recognized each "tray" as a separate printer, so that a user could set Margins & Header/Footer prefs AND paper size per tray. IOW, a feature sort of writing a completely new print module that would reflect "today's" environment with multiple tray printers; rather than to continue using the print module that was built by Netscape back in '94 - '95, which we are stuck with almost 20 years later.
''As I sit here shaking my head after composing this reply, wondering why the issues I had back in 2002 with printing from Firefox / Firebird / Phoenix haven't been corrected in the last 14 years.''
''I do like "old stuff", and have a vehicle sitting my driveway that rolled out of the showroom 30 years ago come October 1 - a 35th birthday present I purchased for myself. [85 Corolla GTS TwinCam coupe - aka Sprinter in GTA] But as far as computer software, I prefer it to be compatible with hardware made in this century.''

Batch handle with 'Auto Select' option

Hello Everyone!
We are trying to find out how the 'Auto Select' button works with batch handle.
Our customer wants to handle batches by FIFO.
We need to try if it is possible to 'Auto Select' batches by 'Admission Date'. Even when we found out that it is possible SBO does not do it rightly, because not always get well organized by 'Admission Date'.
Somebody knows which logic uses the 'Auto Select' option to select batches?
There is some configuration at SBO to handle batches by 'Admission Date'?
Thanks a lot!

The batch auto selection selects the batches according to the ascending alphanumeric order. To issue based on FIFO method, user has to identify the admission date/ manufacturing date of the batch and issue.
There is No configuration at SBO to handle batches by 'Admission Date'.
As a workaround you can use the batches to startwith 'Admission Date'.

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
more path shortcuts:

Problems selecting paper bin/source with some printers drivers

Hi,
I'm using CR2008 SP2 .NET SDK.
With some printers drivers i'm unable to set the correct paper source in the print options.
For example, if I use Toshiba e-series PLC driver (you can find it here:drivers and select, for example, the e-STUDIO281C printer).
Even if i set the correct paper source on the report designer when i print it through code (without applying any changes to the report) the report is always printed by the default paper source defined at the printer preferences.
The same thing happens when you do it through the designer.
I already tried the following workaround but without any success: at the CR Designer, go to the File Menu, and choose Page Setup. Under Page Options, check the Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size. This often helps with these issues. Resave the report, and see if that works any better.
Is there any known issues with printer drivers and CR2008?
(This thread was originally posted in [.NET Development forum|Re: Problems selecting paper bin/source with some printers drivers])

Oops, sorry my mistake. I'll leave it here for now.
How CR works is to get the Printer info from the DEVMODE structure, which is where the printer driver settings and configurations are saved for each printer installed.
What I've seen plenty of times before is within the DEVMODE structure there is one area called DMExtra and in that structure it holds various custom options. Quite often the issue is we query that structure to get info but the problem lies in the driver returning an invalid structure size and therefore CR can't use any custom settings.
Same type of issue if they use an uncommon (ENUM) value for the paper size. In code you can see this in debug mode. But if you simply pass the values as pointers and not attempt to alter them at all CR should not alter what the designer used and saved in the RPT file when the reprot was designed.
What can happen when CR loads the printer info it fails due to problems with the printer itself. There are missing files from the install of the printer which cause Crystal to stop getting the info.
Try this on a clean PC with no other printers installed, Install just that printer driver and then install Crystal Reports. If it still fails then we know it could be Crystal having problems with that driver. You may want to post your issue with the printer manufacturer also. They may be able to test also and determine if it is a CR or their driver issue. They can download a trial version of CR for testing.
Trial lin is: Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
If that's not an option you could purchase a support case here for one of our Engineers to escalate to R&D. If it turns out to be a CR problem then you'll get a credit for the case, if it is a printer driver problem then no credit.
Single Case Purcahse is: http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300?resid=-Z5tUwoHAiwAAA8@NLgAAAAS&rests=1254701640551
Be sure to tell them it needs to go to the Report Designer team first.
There is also a possibilty their driver has issue with Windows OS and the .NET framework. Crystal reports is also UNICODE compliant so the printer driver would have a better success rate if their driver was also unicode compliant.
Bottom line is if it doesn't work in Crystal Designer it won't work in code either.
Thanks again
Don

How to Turn Off the Auto-Select Function When Clicking In a Document?

Whenever I click my cursor within any document (Mail, Text, this post) sometimes an entire word is selected (highlighted in blue) rather than the cursor just being there blinking & ready for me to type. If I click again the entire line is selected, then the whole paragraph.
This is VERY frustrating when all I want to do is place my cursor within the document to edit or begin typing. If I'm not careful and click in a document and just start typing, the auto-selected text is deleted. Yikes!
Only my Mac Mini with the Leopard OS 10.5.8 does this, not my PowerBook w. Tiger OS 10.4.11. Thanks for any advice on this.

Correct, Sig.
When I checked the Double-Click speed in prefs, it was set all the way to the left -- SLOW. When I set it half-way to the right, problem was solved. Thanks much.

Auto-select clip under playhead? (for color correction)

Hi all
Another newbie question concerning color correction in FCS2.
When moving from clip to clip in the timeline, the viewer (which contains the 3-way color correction filter) doesn't refresh until I remember to double-click on the current clip to select it. In other words, if I change a filter on one clip, then move in the timeline to the next clip, the viewer still contains the previous clip's filter, and if I forget, I'll start fiddling with it, thinking I'm now looking at the current clip.
Still with me?
So, my question is, is there an "auto-select" feature whereby, as I move my playhead along the timeline, clips on a selected track (eg V1) will automatically get selected and loaded into the viewer?
I know there is an auto-select feature for tracks, which I've enabled for my video track, but it doesn't seem to be meant for what I want.
Thanks!
Matt

If you set the SYNC to OPEN, what is being played in the time line (and displayed in the Canvas view) will also be displayed in the Viewer.
Just a point of clarification - the Viewer doesn't hold the CC filter, it will only display the filters that have already been applied to currently displayed clip. If the next clip displayed in the viewer has not had the 3way CC applied, the 3way CC won't display as part of the filters on that clip.
Good luck,
x
