When trying to print different sized pages from a multi-tray printer, printer keeps defaulting to one tray


Product

  Prinergy 1.1; Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

The customer wants to print different sized pages to a printer that has mulitple trays holding different sizes of paper, but the printer keeps defaulting to the same tray. Tabloid or letter, the output from Prinergy always comes out of one tray.


Cause

  Some printer drivers have an "autosense" feature, where supposedly they read the incoming PostScript and send it off to the appropiate tray. However, the autosense features don't work with Prinergy EPS files. Therefore it defaults to one tray.

Solution

 

Set up another NT Printer, one that has the default tray pointing at the 11x17 paper tray. For example,

\\Computer\Letter for the 8.5x11" paper

\\Computer\Tabloid for the 11x17" paper

In the properties for each virtual printer, set the default tray to point to the tray that holds the paper you wish to print on.

Permanent fix:
