HP Color LaserJet CM6030CM6040 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 130)

Configure trays
The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:
● When you load paper into the tray
● When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a
software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings
The following message appears on the control panel:Tray <x> [type] [size] To change size or type,
touch “Modify”. To accept, touch “OK”.
NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1 and Tray 1 is configured for Any
Custom and Any Type.
NOTE: If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring
Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet CM6040 Series, setting Tray 1 size to
Any Custom is equivalent to First mode. Setting size for Tray 1 to a setting other than Any Custom is
equivalent to Cassette mode.
