Dell Laser Printer 5100cn
I am interested in some feed back on anyone who has a 5100cn or something similar. We are looking to print flyers on card stock and this model looked to fill our needs as a printer. However, our concern is the limit on the paper weight it handles. Would appreciate any feedback as to how this printer handles printing on card stock. Or recommendations on a printer to do such...
Thx

Can you put the paper into the other tray?
We cannot print using Tray 1 with statement size paper 8.5" x 8.5". It will print 3 times and then the
panel display says "Load Tray 1" But it's already loaded. When I press the Enter (silver button)
nothing happens. On the HP if you press the enter button it begins to print.
What do I do?

Are the fliers full sized? If not, then you will be dealing with the MPF tray. I've been trying to get it to work for printing postcards (2 hours at a time every few days) for a couple of weeks... If you want to give it a try, I will sell you my 5100... CHEAP.mikesievers

I don't think it's possible to print to Tray 1 with anything but letter size. This is a major flaw.
The MPF tray doesn't hold enough paper as we send out 4,000 staements every quarter. I don't think I want to stand there loading 250 at a time.
No thanks for the offer of your 5100cn laser on the cheap. I bought two of them and already sent one back. It's too bad. The 5100cn is economical but it's missing important functions.
It would seem to be just a software patch is all that is needed.

I don't know. I'm sure everyone has the same problem.
