Clear the "Wrong Tray Setting" message from my Brother machine's display.
The "Wrong Tray Setting" message will appear when the machine's Paper Size and Tray Use settings do not match the size of the paper in the tray you are using.
To clear the "Wrong Tray Setting" message, follow these steps:
-
Make sure the paper is correctly oriented in the tray.
Regardless of the paper size you are using, you must always load the paper into the paper tray so that its two longer edges face the left and right sides of the paper tray and its two shorter edges face the front and back of the paper tray.
In other words, if you are standing in front of the paper tray, the paper should be in portrait orientation, not landscape orientation.
-
Make sure the paper you have loaded in the tray matches the machine's Paper Size setting.
You can use eight paper sizes for printing and copying: Letter, Legal, Ledger, A4, A5, A3, Executive, and 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm).
You can use five paper sizes for printing faxes: Letter, Legal, Ledger, A3, and A4.
You can only use plain paper and paper sizes Ledger, Letter, Legal, Executive, A3, or A4 in Tray #2.
When you change the size of the paper you load into the machine, you must also change the machine's Paper Size setting.
