  3. How to change the default preference in system printer dialog?

    To change the default printer preference in the system printer dialog, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start button and then click on the Settings icon (it looks like a gear).
    2. In the Settings window, click on "Devices."
    3. In the Devices window, click on "Printers & scanners."
    4. In the Printers & scanners window, you will see a list of all the printers that are currently connected to your computer.
    5. Click on the printer that you want to set as the default printer.
    6. Click on the "Manage" button and then click on "Set as default." Download Best File Manager EsFileExplorer
    7. Close the Settings window and your new default printer preference will be set.
    Please note that the steps can slightly vary depending on the version of your operating system.

    Printer Preferences change to Manual Feed

    Okidata printers C530 and/or C5400. Two different locations, two different computers, both running Windows 10x64 Professional.

    If I go to the Devices & Printers control panel dialog, and select printer preferences, I can select the default tray to be Tray1, or automatic, and it will stay there UNTIL I run a program which needs to print from the Manual Feeder.

    After I select the manual feeder in that program (from the printer setup dialog), the default for every single subsequent print job, from any program, will remain set to the manual feeder.

    If the next program I print from needs to print from Tray 1, I need to change it manually in the printer setup dialog for that program. But the default remains the manual feeder. It doesn't change back to Tray 1.

    The only way I have been able to reset the default to Tray 1 is by navigating back to the Printers and Devices control panel page, and changing the preferences there. Then the default will stay at Tray 1 until the next time I have to print from the manual
    feeder. But that is time consuming and a pain.

    This change in default tray preference, from tray 1 to manual, does NOT happen if I print an envelope from MS Word, but that is the only exception.

    Is there any way to either

    • Always have the default tray be Tray 1?
    • Always have the default Tray be the last tray used (so that if I change the tray in a programs printer setup dialog to Tray 1, that will remain as the default?
    • Failing the above, is there some script I could run from a desktop shortcut that would set the default tray back to Tray 1 after it gets messed up?

    Thanks for any help.
