Can anyone tell me how to make this printer take paper from the flip down
envelope tray on the front rather than the underneath paper tray please.

Thanks in advance,

Binky.

It will normally take paper from there if it detects paper.

The MP Tray (as it is called) may be confifured incorrectly. On the
printer panel (on the printer itself) select the CONFIG menu, and set MP
TRAY=FIRST. Save that, and it should work.

In Windows printer setup menus, "automatically select"
also works if media is detected in the manual tray.
You can force it with "manual feed", but that might
result in a pause/continue op on each sheet.

Sounds like there's some chance here that the detector
switch has failed. The arm of that switch is the black
plastic leg extending down from the small box assy' at
the left of the tray.
 
Just turn the printer off. Hold down the Online Button and then turn it
back on. Let teh Online button go after the "Cold Reset" msg appears.
That should set the printer back to Default.

If you have this one a network, I would advice to remove the network card
before carrying out the cold reset. Sometimes, doing this before removing
the network card can also reset your network settings on the card.
