MFP M277dw doesn't recognize paper in main paper tray 1

[HLC455]

Main paper tray is full, but the printer doesn't recognize that paper is present and continues to request paper to be added in order to print. Single pages can be printed from the alternate, single sheet paper feed opening.

I read through the text instructions for resolving the problem and started with the easiest approach - with printer on, remove power cord, wait 60 seconds and plug cord back in.  Success!  The printer re-set and I am able to print using what I refer to as the main tray also referred to as Tray 2.  Thank you for your prompt and helpful assistance.
