Source Is The Source is: setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source trays depends on the printer accessories. Any optional source trays that are installed through the Device Settings tab also appear here. The Source is: drop-down menu can contain the following options: ■ Automatically select ■ Printer Auto Select ■ Manual Feed in Tray 1 ■ Tray 1 (100-sheet multipurpose tray) ■ Tray 2 (500-sheet tray) ■ Tray 3 (500-sheet tray) ■ Tray 4 (2000-sheet tray) The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp 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 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 9040/9050mfp supports. When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually Plain. No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information returned is an updated list of media types. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom media types saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver. The following standard types appear in the lists: ■ Unspecified ■ Plain ■ Preprinted ■ Letterhead ■ Transparency ■ Prepunched ■ Labels ■ Bond 180 4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5, and HP PS emulation unidrivers for Windows
