66 Chapter 3 Common copying tasks
EN
By setting this feature, if a tray runs out of copy media during copying,
the copy module automatically locates another tray loaded with the
same copy media size. The system will automatically feed media from
the alternative media tray.
Note You can set whether or not a tray is subject to Automatic Tray
Switching. (See “Tray Eligibility for APS/ADS” on page 234.)
! Media guidelines
• Make sure that transparencies, glossy films, or thick copy
media are output to the left output tray when making copies.
Remove the output copies immediately. Failure to do so may
result in media jams.
• When either transparencies or glossy films are placed in Tray 1
(stack bypass), place them vertically (long-edge first).
• You cannot select the ACS (Automatic Color Selection)
function when placing originals in the optional ADF and
making copies using Tray 1 (stack bypass) when you have
selected Transparency, Heavy Paper 2, or Glossy Film for the
copy media material. Select Full Color mode or Black
Monochrome mode.
• To obtain the best copies and to prevent damage to the copy
module, use the transparencies or glossy films that HP
recommends for use with this copy module (see the “Media
specifications” table on page 57).
• When copying both color and black-and-white originals,
separate the color originals from the black-and-white originals
or copy all of them using the Full Color mode. (When making
copies in the Full Color mode, black-and-white originals will be
counted as full-color copies.)
CAUTION Using copy media that has not been specified for use with a color
laser copier can damage the copy module. For further information,
see the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide or
contact your service representative.
