NOTE NOTE To print by type and size of paper 1. Be sure to load the trays correctly. See Loading trays.) 2. At the printer control panel, open the PAPER HANDLING menu. Select the paper type for each tray. If you are unsure aboutwhich type you are loading, such as bond or recycled, check the label on the media package. 3. Select the paper-size settings at the printer control panel. ● Tray 1: Set the paper size on the PAPER HANDLING menu if the printer is set to TRAY 1 TYPE= a type other than ANY. If custom paper is loaded, also set the custom-paper size on the PAPER HANDLING menu. (For more information, see Printing on custom-sized media or cardstock.) ● Tray 2 and optional tray 3: Set the paper size on the PAPER HANDLING menu. These trays do not support custom sizes. 4. In the program or printer driver, select a type other than Auto Select. The type and size settings can also be configured in the HP Web Jetadmin software for networked printers. Manually feeding media from tray 1 The manual feed feature is another way of printing on special media from tray 1. Setting MANUAL FEED to ON either in the printer driver or at the printer control panel stops the printer after each job is sent, allowing you time to load special paper or other print media in tray 1. Press (SELECT button) to continue printing. If tray 1 contains media when you send the print job, and the printer control panel has TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY as the default configuration for tray 1 operation, the printer will not stop and wait for media to be loaded. To have the printer wait, set TRAY 1 TYPE and TRAY 1 SIZE to types other than ANY on the PAPER HANDLING menu. If the SIZE and TYPE are set to ANY, and MANUAL FEED PROMPT is set to UNLESS LOADED, then the media will be pulled from tray 1 without prompting. If MANUAL FEED PROMPT is set to ALWAYS, then the printer will prompt you to load media, even if tray 1 is set to TYPE=ANY and SIZE=ANY. If you have selected MANUAL FEED=ON at the printer control panel, this setting will override the printer driver, and all print jobs that you send to the printer will request manually fed paper in tray 1 unless a specific tray has been selected in the printer driver. If this feature is to be used only occasionally, it is best to set MANUAL FEED=OFF at the printer control panel and to select the manual feed option in the printer driver on a job-by-job basis. 40 Chapter 2 Printing tasks ENWW
