PIXMA TR8520 Won't Use Lower Tray

mcoenen — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:56:37 GMT

I have had my printer around 4 years, and now all of a sudden, I am not able to use the lower tray to print. It only lets my use the rear feed, which I don't want to do. I have the TR8520 printer. I can't seem to get it to default back to the lower tray.

Gretings,

There are 2 places to control paper type selection on the TR8520.

On the printer - Register a paper type:

Canon Knowledge Base - Paper Settings - TR8520

In the Printers Driver, typically referred to as a profile. This allows you to make on the fly changes depending on what you are printing. You can also set a default paper type to always use the same source if you wish.
