You do not normally need to adjust the page size
through the front-panel, because the page size you
have selected in your HP driver overrides the page size
selected in the printer. However, some of the
circumstances in which you may want to change the
default setting are when the driver you are using does
not over-ride the front-panel settings:

Depending on the driver you are using,
you may not need to change the page size
in the front-panel. The default Size setting
(Software) in the Page Format menu
causes the printer to look for the page size
information in the print file: if it is there, the

printer uses it.

However, some of the circumstances in which you may
want to change the default setting are:

If you want to print the inked area only, but the driver
you are using does not specify “Inked area”.

In this case, set the Size setting in the Page format
menu to Inked area.

If you can select Inked area from your driver, any
selection you have made in the front-panel menu will
be overridden by the settings in the driver.

When the prints you are creating need to be of a
specific standard (for example, ISO or ANSI), but the
actual size within that standard is not important. For
example, your page size may need to conform to a
standard ISO page size, but it does not matter
whether the final page size is ISO A4 or ISO A3.

In this case, set Page format / Size to ISO –> Best... or
ANSI –> Best... etc. The printer uses the smallest
standard size into which the inked area will
fit.

When you are not using one of the HP drivers
supplied with your printer; for example, if you are
sending a PostScript file from a UNIX application.

When you want to save paper by printing only the
inked area of your print, plus the margins. In this
case set Page format / Size to Inked area.
