paper sizes

I have had the dual tray printer for a while now and in the midst of enjoying it, today I ran into a set of docs that would only print from the "unknown" 3rd multipurpose tray. So I will have to go through and print it all a few pages at a time deciding which is on which paper. I was tempted to just print it all on legal since it is not my fault and is so time consuming. What is the general thought out there? I don't think if I have the abiblty to do it and they don't scan it in the right way then it is my problem is it?

In that situation, unless I have been instructed it must be printed on legal and letter, I would just print all on legal.
What a headache trying to discerne those page sizes one by one.

I agree with Misty. The TC can alway crop the legal sizes to letter sizes if they want to.

Have you assigned the proper size for the tray within your printer properties? Typically, tray 1 is manual feed, tray 2 is loaded with letter by default and tray 3 is the add-on tray. YOU need to specify to the printer what size is loaded into what tray.

Oh yes I have tray 1 legal and tray two letter and the multipurpose tray is whatever else. I called brother and they said it is a file issue that if the printer does not know which to use then it tells you to put paper in the MP tray (normally it has nothing in it as you have to fold it down out of the front of the printer). I was just wondering if they actually expect me to go through there and look at each one cause I am not doing many more of those. It should have taken me about 8 minutes to print those 180 pages and instead it took 45 minutes.
