To print by type and size of media
1 Load the trays correctly and adjust the paper guides.
2 Select the TRAY 1 TYPE option on the Paper Handling menu on the control panel and
specify the type of media for each tray. If you are unsure of the media type (such as
bond or recycled paper), check the package label.
3 Select the size settings on the control panel.
• Tray 1: If TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE is selected on the Paper Handling menu, specify
the size on the menu. If custom media is loaded, set the size of custom media on
the Printing menu to match the media loaded in Tray 1.
• Trays 2, 3, and 4: The media size is automatically detected when media is
properly loaded into the tray and the paper guides are adjusted to match the
media size. If custom media is loaded, set the size of custom media on the
Printing menu to match the media loaded in the tray. Set the media size slider in
the tray to Custom.
Note To print custom-size media, “Guidelines for using custom paper” on page 28 .
• Optional power envelope feeder: Set the media size on the Paper Handling menu.
4 From the software or printer driver, select the desired type and size of media.
Note The type and size settings can also be configured from the embedded Web server or
HP Web JetAdmin software for networked products. See the printer driver Help for
information about this option.
To print by media type and size, it might be necessary to unload or close Tray 1, or to set
TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE on the Paper Handling menu on the control panel. For more
information, see “Customizing Tray 1 operation” on page 63 .
Settings in the printer driver and software program override the control panel settings.
Software program settings generally override printer driver settings.
Manually feeding media from Tray 1
The manual feed feature is another way to print on special media. If you set this feature
to On at the control panel or the printer driver, printing stops after each job is sent,
allowing you time to load special media in Tray 1. Press
S TART to resume printing.
If Tray 1 already contains media when you send the print job and the control panel shows
TRAY 1=FIRST as the default configuration, the product will not stop and wait for the
special media to be loaded. To use the manual media loading feature, set TRAY
1=CASSETTE on the Paper Handling menu (see “Customizing Tray 1 operation” on
page 63 ).
If you have selected MANUAL FEED=ON on the control panel, this setting will override the
printer driver, and all print jobs sent to the product will request that you manually feed
media from Tray 1 unless a specific tray is selected from the printer driver. If this feature
is to be used only occasionally, it is best to set
MANUAL FEED=OFF on the control panel.
