MF657Cdw - how to make the printer default to the Multi-purpose Tray when Paper Source = Auto

cmkessell — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 18:00:21 GMT

Hi,

I have a MF657Cdw printer with the Paper Source set to "Auto". Whenever it detects paper in the multi-purpose tray slot, I would like it to use that rather than fetch paper from Drawer 1. However, it always uses Drawer 1 and ignores the multi-purpose tray unless I explicitly change the Paper Source setting to "Multi-purpose Tray".

Is there a way to configure the printer to automatically switch to the multi-purpose tray whenever there is paper in it?

Try the Remote UI, Settings/Registration, Printer Settings, Custom Settings, then all the way at the bottom, set Prioritize Multi-Purpose Tray to On.
