The CD/DVD printing tray continues to eject repeatedly on the Epson L805 printer?
I have a few years old Epson L805 printer with a dedicated CD-DVD tray.
A strange issue has been bothering me, where the tray isn’t being accepted by the printer. It keeps spitting out the media. It occasionally works for about 2 to 3 tries, but this is very frustrating and takes a lot of time.
Any advice on how to fix this? I really like the print quality and it functions perfectly when printing on paper.
This printer?

(Check that I located the relevant User Guide.)
Examine the tray and the host printer closely.
I believe the tray or printer might be worn, making it hard for it to lock securely.
Use a bright flashlight and a magnifying glass to check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
Focus on the areas marked on the physically numbered Page 71 of the User Guide.
It could just be dirt or debris interfering, preventing a proper fit.
If possible, take a few clear close-up photos and share them here via imgur (www.imgur.com).
Someone might notice an issue.
well you may have misinterpreted the tray part.
There is a output tray that needs to be shifted, that works fine, it is the one that is illustrated on the PDF you shared. However apart from that there is an input tray with a CD/DVD cut-out on it. That tray goes in gradually and then comes back out as it is being printed upon.
I am having issues with the latter!
edit: found a solution, it seems that a "leaf switch" is malfunctioning, a temporary workaround is to depress it more as shown in this link
