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.

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.

Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

Do you not get any options after you have selected print
then select Print using System dialogue
which then opend another box , where I select Layout
and can select how I want the document printed.
As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

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.

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.

Printing: Selecting a Paper Source

I have a os 10.9 . i am having trouble printing to my dual printer ( brother hl-6180dn)
steps I have taken... any help to fix this problem would be a great help. I print letter and legal from pdf file.
step:1 clicked on fit paper
step: 2 clicked choose my paper source by pdf page size
step 3 click printer
step 4 scrolled down to paper handling
step 5 click on scale to fit paper size
stet 6 clicked on print.
so what am i doing wrong can someone please help me I am getting frustrated
thank you so much

Because you're running Mac OS X 10.9, I've moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum (you posted on the version for iPad/iPhone).

New 6500A Plus-set up the e-Print. to auto select photo paper like my Photosmart

I will try this one more time. My issue is the printer having two paper sources like the Photosmart. One with printer paper and a small tray with photo paper and the printer knows to print photos on the photo paper.
The question is there any way to modify the 6500 to work the same way?

With e-Print if the photo is embedded into the body of the email then it will print on the plain paper in your printer. If you want the photo to print on photo paper then the photo must be an attachment to the email and you need to have photo paper loaded into the printer.

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

Samsung 24-inch display auto-dimming problem

Right out of the box 3 or 4 months ago, my Samsung 24 inch 2443 BW dims uncontrollably whenever I have a window open that has mostly black or other dark-colored background - say about 60% black; I can actually watch the whole screen and desktop - not just the window - brighten or darken in response to manipulating the images and/or background color in the window. This is on a G5 1.8GHz dual with a GeForce FX 5200, running 10.4.11. It doesn't depend on the ambient light. The System Prefs doesn't offer any way to control auto-dimming. I'm thinking it could be a driver problem, maybe related to the fact that I am still using 10.4.11.
Has anyone had a similar problem and found a fix or workaround? Thanks.

Problem solved! This morning (yes, I should've done this 6 months ago, soon after I bought the unit). As a prelude to returning the unit to Samsung, I finally took the 2443 BW back to my local Apple (specialist) dealer (not an Apple Store. They're independent and don't usually "do PCs", although they can if required). Of course I made sure I had some images that were guaranteed to demonstrate the problem. Their "service genius" watched the behavior for less than a minute and promptly fixed it. (Kudos! )
All that was needed was to "turn off" the "Dynamic Contrast" option from the Samsung's menu (MENU > Picture > MagicBright > Dynanamic Contrast), by selecting one of the other (static) options instead - I preferred the "Sport" option.
When I got it reconnected at home, I adjusted the contrast and brightness settings on the Samsung's Menu to suit me. I am also using the (Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Adobe RGB (1998) Display profile instead of the one labeled "SyncMaster"). The SyncMaster display profile makes the screen look very washed-out.
This dialogue has definitely helped, by helping to pinpoint the monitor itself as the most likely source of the problem.
Cheers

Choose paper source by pdf

I have a printer that seems to process all jobs sent to it incorrectly if the "choose paper source by pdf" option is selected. it prints in a corner in a thumbnail and backwards when this is selected. everything is fixed when I uncheck this option. Problem is, this setting keeps beingly randomly reset. The printer isn't one thats in heavy use but it appears after a reboot or within a few days the setting drops off (since the user doesnt use this printer everyday this may be happening with each reboot) is there a way to disable this via registry? or some default printing option within reader that can be set to prevent this option from resetting itself?

Anyone?

Tray selection problem

After upgrading to Leopard I had this problem: printing to any of my printers (Xerox Docucolor 12, Docucolor 2240, Docucolor 3535, Phaser 8500, Develop 5510id), *in the print dialog window I select a tray (i.e. tray 2), and the printer uses the tray "before" that (in this case tray 1).*
So I can no more print from my "last trays" (typically the bypass tray) because there are no more trays after them in the tray selection tab. The only thing I can do is to leave "automatic selection" of the tray, but this don't work in all occasions (for example when I have to print from bypass on heavyweight paper which has the same size of the paper present in another tray).
What kind of problem can this be? Maybe a PPD corruption problem (but the corruption of ALL the PPDs is not so easy...)

I experienced the same problem with our Canon imageRUNNERs on Leopard using the Canon PPD's. If I used the Canon PS driver the same symptom did not occur, however for some apps it was necessary to use the ppd's only.
The only workaround I found was to print via paper type rather than paper source. By selecting to print via paper type, this meant that if A3 heavy card stock was loaded in the stack bypass, as well as A3 80gsm plain paper in one of the trays, only the paper from the bypass was selected.
I don't believe it is ppd corruption. It has more to do with CUPS not parsing the ppd data correctly. For the drivers that do not rely on CUPS, such as the Canon PS driver and the new imagePASS (Fiery) drivers, the same issue does not occur.

How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2?

How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2? Right now, i have to pull out tray 1 to get the printer to feed tray 2.

Hi Retrotriker,
Follow the steps below to properly configure your paper trays.
1. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, touch Preferences, and then select Default Tray
2. Select Tray 2 as the Default tray
3. Open Printers and Faxes
4. Right click on printer, and then select Printer Properties
5. Click on Device Settings tab
6. On this screen set the media type you have assigned to each tray (Example: tray 1 - Envelopes & Tray 2 - Letter)
7. Click Apply, and then Ok
8. When you have an envelope you are printing it will pull from Tray 1
9. When you have a letter you are printing it will pull from Tray 2

Installing FF cause tray selection problem on printer

After installing Firefox cannot print selected trays. Just prints to bypass.

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);
else if(suspendflag==true){
File newfile =new File("d:\\DTMS\\Archives\\"+str);
fname.renameTo(newfile);
log("File" +" "+ str+" "+"Upload Completed !");
else if(suspendflag==false){

}).start();
}catch(Exception exp)

Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes
