Printing by type and size of media
You can configure the printer to select media by Type (such as plain, glossy, or letterhead) and Size (such as letter or A4),
rather than by Source (a tray).
Benefits of printing by type and size of media
Printing by type or size means that you want the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray that is loaded with the
type or size that you select. Selecting media by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper and
glossy paper. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media
such as labels or transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes.
If you want to print by type or size and the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size, load the paper or print
media into tray 1, and then select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the Print
Properties dialog box.
Note The type and size settings can also be configured from the HP Web Jetadmin software for networked printers.
For Macintosh operating systems, these settings can be configured by using the HP LaserJet Utility.
