Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
The HP Color LaserJet CP3505 automatically classifies media into one of the following categories:
● Plain
● Transparency
● Glossy
● Extra-heavy glossy
● Glossy film
● Heavy
● Light
The automatic media type sensor functions only when that tray is configured to Any Type Plain.
Configuring a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glossy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.
NOTE: Get optimal performance with the automatic media sensing feature when using original HP
media designed for use in HP color LaserJet printers.
NOTE: When printing on heavy media such as cardstock, glossy, or envelopes, achieve optimum print
quality by setting the media type through the control panel or software application before printing the
job.
Tray 1 sensing
Full sensing (default)
● The printer stops at each page to sense media type.
● This is the best mode for using mixed media in a single print job.
Expanded sensing
● Each time the printer begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.
● The printer assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as the
first page.
● This is the second-fastest mode, and is useful for using stacks of the same media type.
