Thanks for the response, Evan.  The problem is that VFA is grayed out in the
Print Setup so I can’t select it.  And believe me, I have read the manual ­
more than once.  I did try the tray behind the regular paper holder and got
an error message ­ blinking red light.  Since you have not had a problem, I
know it can be done.  I’ll try some other combinations.
