    You can also gain access to the printer control panel from a computer by using the  Settings page of
    the embedded Web server. The computer shows the same information as the control panel. For more
    information, see

    Tray Behavior menu options
    The  TRAY BEHAVIOR menu provides the following user-defined options:
    ● USE REQUESTED TRAY
    : Select EXCLUSIVELY (the default value) to ensure that the printer will
    not automatically select another  tray when you indicate that a specific tray should be used.
    Select  FIRST to allow the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty or contains
    a different media type or size.
    ● MANUALLY FEED PROMPT
    : If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always
    generates a prompt before pulling from  the multipurpose tray. If you select UNLESS LOADED, the
    system generates the prompt only if the multipurpose tray is empty or if it is configured for a different
    type or size.
    ● PS DEFER MEDIA
    : If you select ENABLED (the default value), the printer uses HPs paper-
    selection process. Select  DISABLED to allow the printer to use the Adobe paper-selection process.
    ● USE ANOTHER TRAY
    . If you select ENABLED (the default value), the printer prompts users to
    use another tray when the selected  tray is unavailable. If you select DISABLED, the printer does
    not prompt the user.
    ● SIZE/TYPE PROMPT
    . If you select DISPLAY (the default value), the printer prompts users to
    confirm the media size or type loaded in the tray  immediately after the tray has been loaded. If you
    select  DO NOT DISPLAY, the printer does not prompt the user.
    ● DUPLEX BLANK PAGES
    . If you select AUTO (the default value), the printer might not flip pages
    in the duplexer for blank pages, which en hances printer performance. If you select  YES, the printer
    duplexer flips each page.
