HP 2420 - Manual (Page 132)

Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is
generally best to use the driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size
setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require
different media sizes.
NOTE Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different
media sizes within a single document.
For information about media sizes, see the Media attributes section of this guide.
Use Different Paper/Covers
When the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected and different options are configured,
the Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: drop-down menus change, offering a variety of options. For
more information, see
Use Different Paper/Covers .
Source Is
The Source is: setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source
trays depends on the product accessories. Any optional source trays that are installed through the
Configure tab also appear here.
The Source is: drop-down menu can contain the following options:
■ Automatically select
■ Manual Feed in Tray 1
■ Tray 1 (100-sheet multipurpose tray)
■ Tray 2 (250-sheet tray)
■ Tray 3 (500-sheet tray)
The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the HP LaserJet 2410,
2420, and 2430 printer uses the source tray that supports the media size that you have selected. If
you select a source tray other than Automatically select, make sure that the correct media size is
loaded in the source tray. For more information about media sources, see the
Media attributes
section of this guide.
Type is
The Type is: drop-down menu shows all of the media types that the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and
2430 printer supports. When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the product uses the default
media type, which is usually Plain.
The following standard types appear in the lists:
■ Unspecified
■ Plain
■ Preprinted
■ Letterhead
■ Transparency
