Note Note ENWW Printing by type and size of media You can configure the printer to select media by Type (such as plain, glossy, or letterhead) and Size (such as letter or A4), rather than by Source (a tray). Printing by type or size means that you want the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray that is loaded with the type or size that you choose. Selecting media by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media such as labels or grayscale transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes. If you want to print by type or size and the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size, load the paper or print media into tray 1, and then select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the Print Properties dialog box. The type and size settings can also be configured from the HP Web JetAdmin software for networked printers (see "Using HP Web Jetadmin software" on page 64). For Macintosh operating systems, these settings can be configured by using the HP LaserJet Utility (see "HP LaserJet Utility" on page 15).

Printing by type and size of media
You can configure the printer to select media by
Type
(such as plain, glossy, or letterhead) and
Size
(such as letter or A4), rather than by
Source

Printing by type or size means that you want the printer to pull paper or print media from the first
tray that is loaded with the type or size that you choose. Selecting media by type and size results
in significantly better print quality for heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting can
result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media such as labels or
grayscale transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes.
If you want to print by type or size and the trays have not been configured for a certain type or
size, load the paper or print media into tray 1, and then select the type or size from the
