Usually the bypass tray will respond to what size is adjusted to. Change it to something else that is not letter or plain paper and Tray 1 will work fine. I have many Xerox 7855 and 4265 and that is how it works.

If any of the above are screwed up, it asks to have the missing paper size and orientation inserted in the bypass tray. Our most famous problem here is people printing A4 cad drawings in PDF and 5x4 scanned truck delivery tickets in PDF where both must be either printed on letter or tabloid size.

Remove paper from all trays, put paper back in all trays, reset guides that measure the size of the paper, confirm the sizes in the dialog box on screen. If page sizes are locked, you may need to fix them or unlock them in admin settings paper tray settings, then confirm the page size and paper type the printer thinks they are and confirm what the user is trying to print matches the page size and paper type.

At the device control panel, log in as Administrator, press the Machine Status button, then touch the Tools tab. For details, refer to Access the Control Panel or Embedded Web Services (EWS). Login as Admin.

From the Paper Tray Settings screen, you can select the Custom Paper Name / Color feature to set a custom name for paper loaded in the device. You can use a maximum of 24 characters for each custom paper name.

You can name Custom Paper Types 1 to 5, available from the Paper Type option, and Custom Paper Colors 1 to 5, available from Paper Tray Attributes > Paper Color. You can use up to 23 characters, comprised of letters, numbers, and symbols, for each name and color. For example, you can use a name showing its usage, such as Color for colored paper, and Covers for bond paper.

Select the paper type, paper size, and paper color. To select a color, for Auto Paper, use the up or down arrow.The following table lists the current default settings for the paper tray attributes:Item

Set the priority of the trays to use when paper of the same size and the same orientation is set in the multiple trays or print data does not include the paper tray information for automatic tray selection.

Auto Paper selection means that a tray containing the appropriate paper is selected automatically by the device for copying or printing. This setting applies to Trays 1 to 4 and 6 (optional). You cannot apply this setting to Tray 5.

You can select Enable during Auto Select, and Enable for Same Paper Type / Color. If you select Enable during Auto Select, the device switches the tray whenever the user selects Auto Select on the Copy screen or Paper Select in the print driver.You can select Targeted Paper Type (Copy Jobs), then select paper types. When you select According to Priority Assigned, the paper type is determined according to the settings in Paper Type Priority. When you select Selected Paper Type Only, you can specify the paper type.

When copying or printing a document, the device applies the image quality settings defined in the Paper Tray Attributes area of the control panel. The type of paper set in Paper Tray Attributes and the image quality processing method specified for that type of paper control the amount of ink transfer, speed, and fuser temperature applied.

You can select the media weight range to apply to a print or copy job that will optimize the image quality of the device output. The following table shows the available default settings you can select and apply.

The paper catalog allows you to define a unified set of stocks for an entire fleet of devices. The system administrator defines the paper stocks on the print server. The most commonly used paper stocks appear at the top of the list in the paper catalog. When loading media in a paper tray, the user can use the paper catalog to assign a specific paper stock to the tray. When submitting a print job or copy job, the user can use the paper catalog to choose a specific paper stock for the job.

Send a CSV file through the JDF to the appropriate location on the Print Server (DFE).The stock list in the CSV file replaces the Stock Library and is transferred to the device for use during tray programming.

Alternatively, when printing, select the paper size and type in the application program you use on your computer. The settings made from the print driver on your computer override the settings on the control panel.

To enable or disable the tray confirmation screen, touch Tray Confirmation, then select an option.

If you want to use special sized paper, select a custom paper size in the print driver.

Note: If you are accessing Xerox CentreWare Internet Services for the first time after printer installation, you will be prompted to change the default Administrator Account password. The initial default password is the printer serial number. For additional information refer toChange the System Administrator Password for CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS).

Static mode: This option designates a tray as available for all jobs that use the type of paper in the tray, and for print jobs that do not specify a tray.

To display a message at the control panel to prompt users to change paper settings, click Enable.

Tray Mode: This option determines if users are prompted to confirm or modify paper settings when they insert a paper tray into the printer. There are three modes: Fully Adjustable, Dedicated, and Bypass.

In Fully Adjustable mode, users can change the paper settings at the control panel each time they insert a paper tray into the printer, or insert paper into the Bypass Tray.

In Dedicated mode, only a system administrator can use the Embedded Web Server or control panel to change the settings for paper features. When a printer tray is set to Dedicated mode, users cannot change the tray settings.

In Bypass mode, the printer prompts users to confirm or modify paper settings when paper is loaded into the Bypass Tray. If the Bypass Tray contains paper, Bypass mode sets the Bypass Tray as the default tray for all print jobs without a specified tray.

Priority: This option sets a hierarchy for the paper trays. When more than one tray has Auto Select enabled and contains paper that matches the job, the printer uses the highest priority tray. When the Priority 1 tray is empty, the printer uses the Priority 2 tray, and so on, until all trays are empty or refilled.

I am using a Mac and attempting to print a file from illustrator to the bypass tray of our company printer. I am personally trying to print labels and I don't want to risk putting the labels in the main tray and have someone else print their document before I can push print on mine. I have done the due diligence of searching the internet for this issue but with no helpful results found just yet. Any advice?

For some insane reason, Adobe Illustrator will not print from many manual trays on a broad range of printers. You have to do lame workarounds, such as saving the file as a PDF (btw, you also can't "Save to PDF" using the print dialog, which AI also won't allow), then open it in Preview or some other program, and then print normally. Honestly, Adobe f'ed this functionality up a couple rev's back, and for some odd reason refuses to fix it, regardless of how many bug tickets get filed. Who knows why selecting trays is such an ordeal for Adobe when every other graphics package from every other manufacturer make it so easy.

Saving out to a PDF seems to be the only option. Do keep in mind also, that you have to delete any invisible layers, as those will display in Preview when printing. OMG printing with AI is just terrible.

Why are you using the Mac Preview app to do the printing of an Acrobat (AI) PDF? Preview has a very limited subset of the total PDF working space. Use Acrobat or the Free Reader app to print from which will allow the full range of options.

But to answer your question, I don't install Acrobat anymore, primarily because of the bloat, intrusive/poor integration with browsers, etc. Preview opens faster, has a better CPU/memory footprint, sprightlier interaction, better OS integration, and a handful of other issues. Don't get me wrong, I am generally a huge fan of Adobe products.

I do own Acrobat via CC and can install the full version for no additional cost. However, in my opinion, Acrobat is so horribly bloated that I won't install it even though it's free (and again, I'm generally an Adobe fan).

I do appreciate your suggestions, but the real issue here is that Illustrator should really have a functioning tray selection option. I'm guessing that Adobe would argue that it's a printer-driver issue, but again, literally every other graphics application on OSX can print to the Manual Feed tray seamlessly, except for Adobe products. Even Photoshop lets you actually select Manual Feed instead of Tray 1, however, the printer will still print from Tray 1 instead of the MF tray regardless of what I set. Again, no other application exhibits this odd/errant behavior, so it's got to be something messed up with the way Adobe is doing it.

Larry, thanks, I believe you that there are features that Reader and Preview handle differently and thanks for trying to convince me (unsuccessfully) to love Reader. It really isn't the point of this thread.

Most held for resources messages mean that the paper loaded in the machine is either not right for the job you have submitted, or the paper trays have not been setup properly. Both issues have easy fixes and you can be back to printing in no time if you know what to do.
