Color/black mix
This item allows you to configure printer settings to optimize printer and cartridge performance for the
printing environment. If the printer is primarily used for black printing (over two-thirds of the pages are
black only), change the printer settings to  MOSTLY BLACK PAGES. If the printer is primarily used for
color printing, change the printer settings to  MOSTLY COLOR PAGES. If the printer is used for a mix
of black-only and color print jobs, it is recommended that you use the printer default of  AUTO. To
determine the percentage of color pages, print a configuration page. See 
Printer information pages  to
learn how to print a configuration page. The configuration page shows the total number of pages printed
and the number of color pages printed. To determine the percentage of color pages printed, divide the
color page count by the total page count.

Tray behavior options
Tray behavior allows seven user-defined options:
●USE REQUESTED TRAY
. Selecting EXCLUSIVELY  ensures that the printer will not automatically
select another tray when you indicate that a specific tray should be used. Selecting FIRST  allows
the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty or does not match the settings
specified for the print job.  EXCLUSIVELY is the default setting.
● MANUALLY FEED PROMPT
. If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always
displays a prompt before pulling from Tray 1 (multipurpose tray). If you select  UNLESS
LOADED , the system will only display the prompt if Tray 1 is empty.
● PS DEFER MEDIA
. This setting affects how non-HP PostScript drivers will behave with the device.
There is no need to change this setting if using the drivers supplied by HP. If set to  ENABLED,
non-HP PostScript drivers will use the HP tray selection method as the HP drivers do. If set to
DISABLED , some non-HP PostScript drivers will use the PostScript tray selection method instead
of the HP method.
● SIZE/TYPE PROMPT
. This option allows you to control whether or not the tray configuration
message, and corresponding prompt to change type or size is shown when a tray transitions from
opened to closed. Values for this option are  Display and DO NOT DISPLAY .
● USE ANOTHER TRAY
. This menu item allows you to enable or disable the prompt to select another
tray. Values for this option are  ENABLED and DISABLED. ENABLED is the default.
● DUPLEX BLANK PAGES
. This item allows you to determine how a job is to be duplexed. The
available values are  AUTO, which is the default value, and  YES. If AUTO  is selected, blank pages
within the print job are not duplexed. If  YES is selected, any blank pages within the job are duplexed.
● IMAGE ROTATION
. This menu item is available only if an output accessory, such as the stapler/
stacker, is not installed. The printer applies a 180° rotation to all pages if this menu item is not
available or if  STANDARD is selected. This option lets you place paper in the input tray in the same
orientation, regardless of the output accessory.
