Verify you have the latest firmware.  I seem to remember seeing this on
the 5100 series which is its big brother and we don't seem to have that
issue anymore.

Subject: Dell 3115CN paper size question

 

Hi chaps,

 

I've checked on the Dell forums about this but can't find much, and
before I play Dell-Roulette I thought I would ask on the list to see if
anyone else has come up against this.

 

We run a number of Dell 3115CN workgroup printers, and I have to say I
love them. However we have an issue whereby some documents that are sent
to us via email want to print using the MPF paper tray (the manual feed
one). The user then has to find some paper, put it in etc and it's a
chore when it happens numerous times each day. 

 

In the web interface for the printers I've set all the paper feeding
defaults to override the paper tray selection of the app and use Tray 1
(the default paper tray) and to use the next nearest sized paper and
resize the document being printed (ie whatever size the printout, make
it fit A4 and print it using A4).

 

I've also done the same on the printer entry on the server (it's shared
on the network) and also done it, just for luck, on the printer entries
on the workstations and TS boxes.

 

However, some documents still make the printer prompt for paper in the
MPF tray. When this happens, looking at the Paper tab of the Page Setup
dialog in Word shows that the default paper tray for this document is
the MPF !! For 'normal' docs this defaults to Auto.

 

Has anyone seen this with their 3115CNs ? The total lack of ability to
get it to override the requested paper type and use the default. We do a
similar thing with our HP workgroup printers and that works a treat.

 

Olly
