ImageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C3826i won't accept coated paper

[elvernon]

I need to use coated paper in our copier.  When I load the paper in the multipurpose tray and change the paper type, the OK option is not lit and it will not accept the paper in the multipurpose tray.  Any ideas?

Greetings,

The printer is not able to discern the paper type.  It simply prints what it is told to on the media type selected.  Quality issues can result if the wrong paper type is selected.   If the OK button is not becoming clickable, then the printer is not set to use the multi-purpose tray for the print job you've specified.

If you are unable to figure this out, I'd work with my local dealer to ensure the tray is selectable and mapped correctly for the job.
