Our office just got the M553 on recommendation of our IT guys. We're very surprised to see that the bypass tray is called Tray 1. Is there a way to set the default printing tray as Tray 2, at the machine so each employee doesn't have to repeatedly check which tray they want to use? Thanks!

If you set the paper type as Plain letter and set the MP tray to match the paper you have loaded this should provide a default printing from Tray 2, this setting is done on the control panel of the printer. Then ensure that the print driver is set for a default paper selection of plain letter, then the only time it will print from the MP or tray 1 is if someone prints a job and selects either the tray or paper type within the driver properties.
Do not set any tray to any size/any type.
