HP LaserJet 5200 Printer series - Manual (Page 48)

Changing printer-control-panel configuration settings
By using the printer control panel, you can make changes to general printer configuration default settings
such as tray size and type, sleep delay, printer personality (language), and jam recovery.
CAUTION: Configuration settings seldom need to be changed. Hewlett-Packard Company
recommends that only the system administrator change configuration settings.
Changing control-panel settings
For a complete list of menu items and possible values, see Using the control-panel menus
on page 19 .

2. Use or to scroll to the menu that you want, and then press .
3. Some menus might have several submenus. Use or to scroll to the submenu item that you

5. Use or to change the setting. Some settings change rapidly if or is held down.
6. Press to save the setting. An asterisk (*) appears next to the selection on the display, indicating

NOTE: Printer-driver settings override control-panel settings. Software program settings override both
printer-driver settings and control-panel settings. If you cannot gain access to a menu or item, it is either
not an option for the printer or you have not turned on the associated higher-level option. See your
administrator if a function has been locked (Access denied menus locked appears on the printer
control-panel display).
Tray-behavior options
Four user-defined options are available for tray behavior:
● USE REQUESTED TRAY. Selecting EXCLUSIVELY ensures that the printer does not
automatically select another tray when you indicate that a specific tray should be used. Selecting
FIRST allows the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty. EXCLUSIVELY
is the default setting.
● MANUALLY FEED PROMPT. If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always shows
a prompt before pulling from the multipurpose tray. If you select UNLESS LOADED, the system
displays the prompt only if the multipurpose tray is empty.
● PS DEFER MEDIA. This setting affects how non-HP PostScript drivers behave with the printer.
You do not need to change this setting if you use the drivers that HP supplies. If set to
ENABLED, non-HP PostScript drivers use the same HP tray selection method as the HP drivers.
