HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Printer series - Manual (Page 85)

Configure trays
You can configure the printer trays by type and size. Load different media in the printer trays and then
request media by type or size in the software program.
NOTE: If you have used previous HP Color LaserJet printers, you might be accustomed to configuring
tray 1 to first mode or cassette mode. To mimic the settings for first mode, configure tray 1 for ANY
SIZE and ANY TYPE. The printer will pull paper from tray 1 first (if paper is loaded in that tray) when
the print job does not specify another tray. This setting is recommended if you use different types or
sizes of paper in tray 1. To mimic the settings from cassette mode, set either the size or type for tray 1
to a setting other than ANY SIZE or ANY TYPE. This setting is recommended if you are using the same
size and type of paper in tray 1.
NOTE: If you use 2-sided printing, be sure that the media meets the specifications for duplex printing.
See Special paper or print media guidelines on page 63 .
The following instructions are for configuring the trays at the printer control panel. You can also configure
the trays from your computer through the embedded Web server. See

Configure tray 1 for custom paper
Use the ANY SIZE size setting when the selected media does not exactly match the size of the paper
specified in the document you are printing. If no source tray is specified, the printer looks first for paper
that exactly matches the document, and then it looks for and prints from a tray set to ANY SIZE or ANY
TYPE.
Use the ANY CUSTOM setting when you want to be able to print a number of custom sizes from the
tray without defining a set size for each job. Use the CUSTOM setting when you want to print a specific
print size from a particular tray. When you print a custom job, the printer looks for an exact size match.
If it does not find an exact match to the custom size specified, it looks for a tray set to ANY CUSTOM.
Finally, the printer looks for and uses media from a tray set to ANY SIZE.
