Printer Compatibility

Yes. The Tray Selector utility will offer you the option of setting up printing to any printer that is available on your PC. You can designate tray preferences for both initial and subsequent pages, giving you complete control over your printing workflow.

Tray Selector works with all Windows-compatible printers including HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, and more.

Absolutely. Tray Selector fully supports duplex (two-sided) printing. Configure the setup to direct the first two pages to a single tray, ensuring duplex pages print on both sides correctly.

Our support team provides guidance on establishing separate printer drivers optimized specifically for duplex-only printing scenarios. This allows you to have dedicated profiles for single-sided and duplex printing.

Yes. This is a very common request from people who have duplex printers. You can create multiple profiles for the same printer with different settings.

For example, create one profile called "Letter - Single" for single-sided printing and another called "Letter - Duplex" for two-sided printing. An online tutorial is available to guide you through the configuration steps.

For Tray Selector to control your printers effectively, the paper and tray selections within the printer driver need to be set to the defaults or "Auto Select."

Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Open your printer properties from Control Panel
  2. Check that paper source is set to "Auto Select" or "Printer Default"
  3. Verify device-level tray configuration allows software control
  4. Restart Microsoft Word after making changes

Features & Setup

The standard configuration allows for seven profiles, each customizable with descriptive names like "letters," "letterhead," "colour," or "envelopes."

If you need more profiles, a simple registry modification can expand this limit to 20 profiles. Contact our support team for detailed implementation instructions tailored to your specific needs.

Yes. Tray Selector accommodates multiple printers seamlessly. Many law firms and offices leverage this capability to enable single-click printing across various devices on their network.

For example, you could have profiles for "Office Printer," "Color Printer," and "Reception Printer" - all accessible from the same Tray Selector ribbon in Word.

Each individual profile works with one printer. However, you can create different profiles targeting different printers.

The "Extra Copies" feature enables printing full documents to multiple printers simultaneously via a single button click. This is perfect for scenarios where you need copies on different devices.

Yes. Click the settings button on the Tray Selector printer setup utility and select the profile from which you want to print an envelope.

Enable the envelope printing option and select your destination printer and tray. This is particularly useful for law firms that frequently mail correspondence with matching envelopes.

Envelope Printing Settings

Yes. Some users have documents which repeat every X pages and they want to treat each segment as a separate document.

Simply designate the segment length in your profile settings, and Tray Selector will automatically divide and print your document accordingly. This is useful for forms, contracts, or any repeating document structure.

Document Splitting Settings

Yes. Tray Selector works seamlessly with PDF printers by treating them as standard printer destinations.

It's compatible with Adobe's PDF driver and free alternatives like PDFCreator. This allows you to create profiles that automatically save documents as PDF files.

Tray Selector handles mail merge documents effortlessly. Instead of using Word's standard merge print options, simply click your Tray Selector profile button.

The application will prompt you to confirm that you want to print the merged letters using your configured tray settings. This ensures each letter prints correctly with letterhead on the first page.

To uninstall Tray Selector:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Go to "Programs and Features" (or "Add/Remove Programs")
  3. Locate "Tray Selector" in the list
  4. Click "Uninstall" or "Remove"
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete removal
