Question About Paper Try Settings for a Xerox Workcentre 7525
Hi. Could someone please suggest why I can't set "Letter" sized paper for Tray 2 on a Xerox Workcentre 7525?
Whenever I close the "Paper Tray 2" drawer all I am offered on the printer's display panel (the display that asks you to confirm the size and type of paper that's in the tray) a choice of paper sizes as either "Tabloid" or "Custom"; there is no "Letter" choice there. If I wanted to I could set a "Custom" 8.5 x 11 paper size, and one might think it should all be fine if I did just that, but past grief/experience shows that will cause problems when software that's printing to the printer is looking specifically for "Letter"-sized paper; some software won't accept printing to a "Custom" page when it wants a "Letter"-sized page.
I called the Xerox support desk for information about this, but I was told I need to go to each computer that prints to that printer and set "Tray 2" to "Letter" for each print driver. It seems like a make-work project that doesn't do anything to address the problem. Any thoughts?
I thought it might be a problem with Tray 2 reporting its paper-size setting to the printer as being tabloid-size instead of letter-size (i.e. when you move the plastic slides to conform to 8.5 x 11 that should be detected somehow by the printer?).
I guess I'm looking for confirmation that the Xerox Workcentre 7525 supports Letter-sized paper in its Tray 2 and that I haven't missed anything settings-wise. If someone has had experience like this I'd be grateful if you could tell me about it.
Thank you in advance,

Thank you again for your help. It looks like it was a sensor issue in the tray, so I called a Xerox tech to come in and fix it.
