Printer paper handling There are two vertical input paper trays: the Paper Input Bin and the Single Sheet Input Slot. With the vertical open trays, it is easier for the user to know exactly what paper is in the printer and when the printer is out of paper. There are two paper output paths: the vertical Paper Output Bin and the Front Output Slot in the front of the printer. The user may wish to use the Front Output Slot occasionally since it provides a straighter path and reduces curl. The Paper Path Lever is located on the side of the printer. When the lever is pushed down, it allows the paper to exit through the Front Output Slot. If the lever is pushed up, the paper exits the printer to the Paper Output Bin. Manual feed Since the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer has only one paper input sensor, it cannot sense which input tray/slot the paper is in. Therefore, when manual feed has been selected, the printer pauses, waiting for the user to insert the correct paper into the printer (either in the Paper Input Bin or the Single Sheet Input Slot) and press the Go key. When the Go key is pressed, the paper is pulled from the Single Sheet Input Slot if paper is loaded there; otherwise, paper is pulled from the Paper Input Bin. Manual paper feed is normally set by a user's software application. A user can create a Manual Feed request by either sending the PCL Media Source escape sequence or setting the PJL MANUALFEED command. The printer's current PJL setting takes effect if the user has not overridden it with a PCL escape sequence. Otherwise the setting by the PCL escape sequence is used. When Manual Feed is selected, there may not be any immediate indication on the Control Panel. When the manual feed page has been processed and is ready to be printed, the Go key/LED will begin blinking and the Ready LED will turn off, indicating that the printer is requesting the user to place the correct paper in either the Single Sheet Input Slot or the Paper Input Bin and press the Go key. If the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer has no paper it will show the Paper Out mode (Attention LED on). When paper is loaded it will automatically pick the next page without the user having to press the Go key. If the printer is in a manual feed mode and the user unloads and then reloads paper, the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer will automatically pick the next page as well. C4224-90962 Printer paper handling 35

Printer paper handling
There are two vertical input paper trays: the Paper Input Bin and the Single Sheet Input Slot.
With the vertical open trays, it is easier for the user to know exactly what paper is in the
printer and when the printer is out of paper. There are two paper output paths: the vertical
Paper Output Bin and the Front Output Slot in the front of the printer. The user may wish to
use the Front Output Slot occasionally since it provides a straighter path and reduces curl.
The Paper Path Lever is located on the side of the printer. When the lever is pushed down, it
allows the paper to exit through the Front Output Slot. If the lever is pushed up, the paper
exits the printer to the Paper Output Bin.
Manual feed
Since the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer has only one paper input sensor, it cannot sense which
input tray/slot the paper is in. Therefore, when manual feed has been selected, the printer
pauses, waiting for the user to insert the correct paper into the printer (either in the Paper
Input Bin or the Single Sheet Input Slot) and press the
Go key
. When the Go key is pressed,
the paper is pulled from the Single Sheet Input Slot if paper is loaded there; otherwise, paper
is pulled from the Paper Input Bin.
Manual paper feed is normally set by a user’s software application. A user can create a
Manual Feed request by either sending the PCL Media Source escape sequence or setting
the PJL MANUALFEED command. The printer’s current PJL setting takes effect if the user
has not overridden it with a PCL escape sequence. Otherwise the setting by the PCL escape
sequence is used.
When Manual Feed is selected, there may not be any immediate indication on the Control
Panel. When the manual feed page has been processed and is ready to be printed, the Go
key/LED will begin blinking and the Ready LED will turn off, indicating that the printer is
requesting the user to place the correct paper in either the Single Sheet Input Slot or the
Paper Input Bin and press the
Go key
.
If the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer has no paper it will show the Paper Out mode (Attention LED
on). When paper is loaded it will automatically pick the next page without the user having to
press the Go key. If the printer is in a manual feed mode and the user unloads and then
reloads paper, the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer will automatically pick the next page as well.
