Ix7000 plain paper settings through the rear tray

Hi, I wish to print through the rear tray of the ix7000 printer using the same settings as the plain paper settings (which can only be used through front and manual trays).
I'm printing on 160gsm gloss, which prints beautifully using the media type - plain paper - and shockingly using all the other media types. I want to print on paper of a size that the rear tray accepts (custom and large) but using the plain paper settings which print the image well.
It's frustrating in that I know the printer can print the images perfectly on this paper, but it won't (for some unfathomable reason) let me use plain paper through the rear tray where the size of sheet (550mm x 250mm)  will fit. Anyone got any ideas? It will even let me print an envelope at 550mm x 250mm through the rear tray! but not plain paper. I almost need a way to shift the plain paper settings (somewhere in the driver) over to them applying to the envelope selection - that could be a way to trick it in to doing what I want it too. I can't think of any others.
thanks
Brett

nope, after talking to a couple of canon technicians, and spending a fair bit of time on it I've come to the conclusion it can't be done - there really needs to be a manual over-ride to let the user make the final choice for such things.

  • How can I persuade my MX715 that I mean what I say: paper normally to come from the rear tray.

    Yesterday, my printer decided that it would rather be fed from the cassette.  I had changed nothing and since then have re-iterated umpteen times that I want it to take paper from the rear tray, both on paper source settings and properties.  I use too many different types of paper and sizes to make the cassette realistic.
    Help please

    Is the software owned by the company or the employee?  The software should have been registered under a company Adobe ID and not an employee.  It sounds like that serial number is now associated with the employee's own Adobe account and not the company so essentially she owns that serial number.  Your company doesn't sound too efficient when purchasing and managing their own software.
    Your IT department should have had control of all software and ID's.  Have you checked with them to see if they have access to that account?  Is it possible the employee took the software with her when she left then installed it on her own computer?  That might be why your serial number no longer works.
    Adobe's tech support stinks especially if you ask a question outside of their knowledge and what they have on a script.  They may as well have monkeys answering the phone.  Actually monkeys are easier to understand than the reps are.
    Maybe somebody else will come along with a better resolution.  You should return the upgrade of CS6 and may have to either get the CC version or re-purchase the full-price CS6 while it is still available.

  • Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

    Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it.  I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes.  With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray.  While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
    One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray.  It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope.  Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing.  I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray.  I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
    My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310.  I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray.  To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7.  The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray.  Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
    The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets."  The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
    If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful!  I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.
    Regards.

  • How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    From paper?  Do you have a digital image of it on your iPhone?
    "Photo tray"?  What do you mean here?  The iPhone does not have a photo tray.  Printers have trays.

  • Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

    I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
    The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
    I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
    The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
    The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
    It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
    An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
    I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
    I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
    Help!!

  • HP Photosmart 3210 installed on my iMac But is showing as  but is showing as HP Color Laserjet 2800 series PS which means I no longer have access to all the paper options especially the photo tray

    I have recently purchased an iMac running Lion. The HP Photosmart 3210 printer was connected through the network and I was happy that it recognised the printer - good old Mac's!!
    However, when I tried to print some of my photos from the photo tray, the option was not available and when I looked at the printer properties, it was showing as a HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS which does not have all the paper options I had before. Reinstalling the software from HP did not make any difference - do I now have to buy a new printer as well???

    I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

  • Plain Paper Best Chops the Top

    Hello All,
    Within the last month, when I print in Plain Paper Best, the document begins to print immediately at the top.  This is especially frustrating when trying to print business cards.  The cards print fine when using Plain Paper, Fast Draft or Plain Paper, Fast Draft, Black and White.  What happened and what can I do ?  Thank you

    The printer will put droplets of ink on the page based on what it detects the media is (for printers with "Automatic" as a paper type) or the specified media in the driver.
    If you select plain paper, draft and print on photo paper it would use the same amount of ink as if you put in plain paper.  The results are likely to be very very poor if you do that, for several reasons:
    The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, it will not dry properly.  When photo media is selected the printer will not use the pigmentd black ink even to print text, it will mix color to make black.
    It takes much more ink to give proper photo settings on photo paper as compared to plain paper.  Using plain paper draft settings is likely to result in an unusable photo paper page, ruining a $1 sheet of photo paper to save a $0.20 worth of ink - not a good tradeoff.
    If you plan to print a lot of photo's you might consider a printer that uses the HP Ink advantage subscription service.  This service is based on pages printed, and they count photo pages the same as plain paper, even though a full page photo may use 10x or more the ink of a plain paper text page.

  • Paper in, paper out through the back, no print

    Well, not much to say. I paid 70 bucks, I got what I paid for. It worked fine for a while, yesterday had a jam, I took the paper out. Now it doesn't print, the paper comes out white through the back. Should I buy another printer?Thanks. Pissed off in Manhattan

    Waldenhouse,
    Try to just skip Michael D. Sullivan's post.  He got utterly confused, and his reply would only confuse you.
    I did tell you that I have an Epson 2200, not a 2880 like Mr. Sullivan thinks and like you have, and that I would show you a screenshot, which I did.
    You are the one with the 2880, and you DO have the 2880 printer driver.  I hope this clarifies the situation for Mr. Sullivan.
    ~~~~~~~
    Now, as for your issue, you still have to determine why you only have a single available option.  Are you missing a proper profile for the combination of ink/paper/printer?  For instance, my printer would show me all options grayed out if I try to use a printer option and profile for a paper that requires Matte Black Ink and I only have the Photo Black Ink physically installed in the printer.

  • PSE 10 Printer Setting Defaults to Rear Tray

    I have PSE 10. My OS is Windows 7. My printer is a Canon MG6120. The default print tray selected for the computer and all programs is the Cassette. It was selected under Devices and Printers (path: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers). All my programs accept the cassette as the default paper source or Tray, except for PSE 10.
    In all other programs, I manually change the Paper Source for rear tray selection through the Printer Properties dialogue window. However, the paper source for my PSE 10, after manually changing from Tray: Rear Tray to Tray: Cassette, resets back to Tray: Rear Tray after printing and even after using the Change Settings and Advanced Settings dialogue windows.  Please see the image insert.
    I generally print on bond paper. The rear tray is normally closed. If I'm want to print on photo paper, I open the rear tray and insert the photo paper. I verify that I have the printer set to use the rear tray. After printing on photo paper (from any program) I reset the paper source back to cassette.
    My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper source to the Rear Tray. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept the front-loading cassette as the default paper source?"
    PSE10 also insists on reverting to Landscpe orientation. Please see the image insert.
    My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper Orientation to Landscape. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept Portrait as the default orientation?"
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Thanks for responding.
    As I stated in my first paragraph, "The default print tray selected for the computer and all programs is the Cassette. It was selected under Devices and Printers (path: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers)."
    The path I note for Windows 7 is exactly the same for Windows 8, sort of surprised you missed that. As you can see, before submitting to the forum, I addressed everything you mentioned; it did not solve the problem. I've updated the Canon driver and restarted the computer; it did not solve the problem. I made auto-select and portrait orientation the defaults; it did not solve the problem.
    Hopefully someone else has a solution or can tell me what's causing the problem. Right now I'm guessing it's some kind of PSE .dll corruption. I hope it is not something in the registry. A little later on I'll uninstall and then reinstall PSE 10 see if that works.
    Thanks for taking the time to insert the screen shot.

  • Won't print from rear tray

    I have a Pixma MG6220. No matter what I do it won't print from the rear tray from a source on the web. I go to both the quick setting and main tab and select "rear tray." Still prints from cassette. I took out the paper from the cassette. Won't print unti I load paper in the cassette. I even selected a different paper than plain paper and selected rear tray - but it still printed from the cassette.
    I selected "continuous autofeed" for a default, removed paper from the cassette - and it still wouldn't print from paper loaded in the rear tray.
    It will print from the rear tray if it's a document originating from my computer (or at least I just tried that and it worked). I did not change from plain paper, I only had to select rear tray.
    Yes, I realize "save the document to your computer" will be a suggestion, but the website won't let me. It's a "free printable" that is not downloadable.

    Hello.
    The issue may also be related to a setting in your web browser.  Check to see if your browser has a Page Setup option.  This menu may be controlling the paper feed setting.
    If the issue persists, please try using a different web browser to test the unit.

  • Am trying to get my Ipad1 to work via AirPrint using Pages and a Canon MG8250 printer. My iMac works ok  but the iPad attempt results in the printer trying to use the rear paper tray rather than the lower paper drawer. All drivers and firmware are latest

    My set up is Imac + Ipad1 + canon MG8250 printer. Wireless network. airprint in use and functions fine with the Imac. The Ipad initiates printing ok but always faults out with the error 'Printer out of paper' because it tries to use the rear paper tray (special paper ) instead of the paper drawer. 

    Johnmac@47-
    Could the iMac have printed something that required use of the rear tray?  That might have reset the printer's default.  Look in the printer manual to see if it has a setting to change the default paper tray.  (Note that the iMac does not use AirPrint, it uses the printer's native printing language.)
    Your problem may be a flaw in the Canon AirPrint implementation.  I suggest you report it to Apple at <iPad Feedback>, as well as to Canon.  There may be a simple correction that can be made to either the next iOS update or to the Canon printer firmware.

  • Pixma mx 922 will not print a pic from the lower tray. Cannot put 8x10 paper in upper tray.

    I cannot print a picture using the paper in the lower tray and cannot make 8x10 paper fit in the upper tray. Is this normal for this printer. I should have stayed with a HP printer. I am using an iPad 2.

    Actually both wireless problems are mentioned frequently on the web, by many people.  I was finally able to figure a solution out because there were so many threads to choose from when you Google it...never had problems with any other wireless equipment connecting in all of the years we have used them, just this printer...As I said, a fan of Canon in all forms for years.   Just not this printer.  Regret giving up the MX850.  Have gained nothing with this printer, techinically or print quality wise..  Feels like a step back, actually. And many others have mentioned how agonizingly long it takes to fire up to print or when you change settings.   It is a major complaint with this printer.   As to the Airprint info of the 4"x6" only printing, I was not aware of that.  Maybe if printer manufacturers put that info in their sales material in the section dealing with Airprint,  we would be able to manage expectations better....  

  • How can I choose my printer's rear tray on my MacBook?

    Hello everyone,
    I have something strange going on on my MacBook when it comes to printing...
    I would love to be able to print address labels, photos etc. on actual labels and photo paper using the rear tray of my printer (Canon MG5150). The weird thing is that I cannot for the life of me find the option to choose the rear tray. I have expanded the print dialogue to show all possible options, but there's absolutely no way to choose my printer's paper source. So I'm stuck with the standard cassette, which I do not dare use for anything thicker than normal printing/copying paper. Everything else printer-wise works fine from the MacBook, I just can't select the paper source (regardless which programme I'm working in on the MacBook).
    Something else I've tried is downloading the latest printer driver from Canon. No joy there though, doesn't make a blind bit of difference. I've also tried opening programmes using Rosetta just in case, but that doesn't seem to change anything either.
    My iMac never presented me with this problem; it always let me print from whichever paper source I wanted (using the same Canon printer). Some background info: my MacBook has Mac OS 10.6.8 on it, my iMac Mac OS 10.4. Could it have something to do with the operating system? They are both Intel, aren't they, so why would the options be there on one Mac, but not the other?
    So, where could my menu options have disappeared to?? Have Apple changed their printing dialogues for the worse or something? It seems such a shame I can't use my MacBook to its full potential and have to resort to roundabout ways of being able to do what I want. I'm hoping it's something really obvious, and that someone can help me.
    Thanks for any advice!
    Kind regards,
    Esther

    Hello-
    You can restore network defaults on the printer.
    Press the Setup icon. Then go to Network Menu, scroll down to "restore network defaults".
    This should clear any "Admin" settings that were set.
    Then you can turn radio on and run the wireless wizard to get back on network.
    I hope this helps.

  • Selecting Epson RX700 printer rear tray

    When I had my Epson RX700 printer (all-in-one) connected to a Windows PC, I could select either front or rear paper trays for printing. With Mountain Lion, I have not been able to find any way to select a tray and have to accept a default depending on the type of paper being used and the print quality (standard plain paper and normal print draws from the front tray, photo paper and photo-quality print draws from the rear tray). This is OK until I need to print to stiff card using normal print quality - then the paper feed in the front fails and I get the "paper out" message. I can use the rear tray but only by selecting photo paper and photo-quality printing, which is both very slow and uses a vast amount of ink. Does anyone know of a way to select the rear tray but retaining the plain paper and normal print attributes?

    You need to read the user manual that came w/the printer.  Some things will will on a Windows comp but not on a Mac or a particular OS version.  If the user manual is of no help, call Epson and/or visit their troubleshooting website.
    I have an Epson printer that can automatically print the front & back of paper.  However, this does not work in ML. Not compatible *yet.*
