Problem

Symptoms: The customer must press the Stop/Start button for the first print job on the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter when using the rear paper feeder. The customer has the optional 100 sheet paper feeder that attaches to the back of the printer in place of the envelope feeder. When the user turns the printer on and prints from the optional tray, the printer prompts them to change the paper and they must push Start/Stop to get it to work. The user noticed that WPCorp's sheet feeder definition was set for the envelope feeder and not the optional paper tray. Can the sheet feeder definition be changed to set the printer for the optional tray? Solutions: The WPCorp sheet feeder definition will work with the optional tray. There is no need for a change to the definition. The user can select the IBM 4029 PostScript sheet feeder and use Bin 3 to access the optional tray. The printer will default the tray to the 9.5" x 4", COM 10 envelope. The customer can either change the paper tray through the menu settings so that the paper/envelope tray is set to legal or whatever size paper is needed. After changing the menu on the printer, the printer will not prompt the user. However, the customer will need to change the menu every time the printer is turned off and back on. The other option, which takes less steps, would be to print a document and then push Start/Stop when prompted. This will reset the tray to the paper size being requested. The new setting will not change until another size is requested (Stop/Start must be pushed for this as well) or the printer is turned off.
