Steps for printing from rear tray Canon TR8620

Chris623 — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 21:27:25 GMT

We just bought a new TR8620. Both wife and I are tech illiterate and can't figure out how to print card stock using the rear tray. Can someone please give us step-by-step instructions so we can write them down and keep beside the printer. Or, as an alternative can someone tell us where to find that information?

Thanks, Danny. I've already been all through the help section. Wish you could have just answered my question. Since your a moderator, I'd have thought you'd know how to do this.

Couldn't switch from rear tray to cassette from MS Word or from anywhere in TR8620. Changed to Compatibility mode and printer immediately switched to cassette - also icon on display switched to cassette.

In case anyone is still looking for the solution to this. On windows 11, in your Printers & Scanners you'll find your printer. On that printer is the "printing preferences"; this brings up the main utility for the printer. This utility has all the settings (default) for how any program in windows sends the print file to your printer; one such setting is "Paper Source" which you can select "Rear Tray".
Print what you need from the rear tray, then you can change the paper source back to "Automatically Select" or "Cassette" as needed.
