Next you need to select the types of paper that can be fed from the multi-purpose tray; i.e., all of them. Without this, users will not be able to choose paper types like Labels, Heavy, Envelope, Transparency, so the Canon will not handle those papers correctly. On the Device Settings tab, choose the Form to Tray Assignment button; with Multi-Purpose Tray selected in the Paper Source section at top, select each of the options under Paper Type until they are all selected. If asked if you're sure, answer Yes. Choose OK then Apply. Here's how to check your work: in the next section when you're setting the Printing (driver) defaults, on the Paper Source tab, if you change "Select by:" to "Paper Type", then choose the Settings button, you should see all the paper types. Be careful not to leave this tab this way: change "Select by:" back to "Paper Source", and make sure the default is Auto.
If a printer is Offline (turned off or disconnected from the network), Bi-Di communication is not going to work and so printer features and defaults cannot be set correctly. You have to get the printer back online and seen by the server before you can continue. If you're not sure if the printer is really offline or not, look it up in CentreWare Web (CWW)–when CWW agrees that it's offline, then there is definitely a network communications problem that must be fixed. If a duplexer or tray is not being detected correctly, it's usually a physical problem: check that the duplexing unit or tray is installed and seated correctly. If a duplexer cannot be detected correctly, then the device options must be set manually. You can see a list of the installed options on the PostScript config page, described here .
CC5051 Printing (driver) defaults
...
Choose the Basic Settings tab. You have the option to change the duplex default: under 1-sided/2-sided/Booklet Printing:, choose 2-sided Printing. It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all networked printers (unless an operator has specified otherwise), and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.) For a few Canon MFDs, there will be dual queues: a BLDGRoom-CC5051 queue for color, and a BLDGRoom-Gray-CC5051 queue to either default to grayscale (b&w) printing, or even force it. You set this in the Printing Defaults on the Basic Settings tab, where Color Mode must be set to Black and White for a default-b&w or grayscale only queue..
Printer driver: (Lanier) Ricoh Universal Print Driver PostScript
...
On all Lanier and Ricoh devices, we are using a recent Ricoh Universal Printer Driver (UPD) PS (PS = PostScript), with its ability to dynamically detect the printer's features using Bi-Directional communication, via SNMP.(Note that this driver is named poorly; it shows up in a list of drivers as ""PS Driver for Universal Print", with little indication that it's for Ricoh and Lanier devices.) Therefore, the first settings to check are that Bi-Di is on, the model was detected correctly, and the printer features were detected correctly.

Ricoh UPD Printing (driver) defaults
(to be completed)
...Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct place. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for PaperCut-managed printers, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For the few printers not managed by PaperCut, leave this on for extra functionality.) Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the CC5051Ricoh UPD, you see 7 3 tabs.
Choose the Frequently Used Settings tab, then the Basic Settings tabSetting Preset List. You have the option to change the duplex default : under 1-sided/2-sided/Booklet Printing:, choose 2-sided Printing choose "Long Edge Binding(Open to Left/Top)". It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all networked printers (unless an operator has specified otherwise), and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.) For a few Canon MFDsLanier/Ricoh printers, there will may be dual queues: a BLDGRoom-CC5051 LRSPxxxx queue for color, and a BLDGRoom-Gray-CC5051 LRSPxxxx queue to either default to grayscale (b&w) printing, or even force it. ???You set this in the Printing Defaults on the Basic Settings tab, where Color Mode must be set to Black and White for a default-b&w or grayscale only queue...???
