Controlling print jobs
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper
when you send a print job. The Source, Type , and  Size settings appear in the  Page Setup, Print , or
Print Properties  dialog boxes in most software programs. If you do not change these settings, the
printer automatically selects a tray using the default printer settings.
Source
Printing by  Source means that you choose a specific tray from which you want the printer to...

●Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver)
. The printer driver opens when you click
Properties  in the Print dialog box. Settings changed in the  Printer Properties dialog box do not
override settings available anywhere else.
● Default printer settings
. The default printer settings determine settings used in all print jobs,
unless  settings are changed in the  Page Setup, Print , or Printer Properties  dialog boxes, as
described above. There are two ways to change the default printer settings:
1....

Selecting print media
You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides guidelines
and specifications for selecting and using different print media. For more information about supported
print media, see 
Print media specifications.
It is possible that media could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter and still not print satisfactorily.
This may be due to abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which

Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
The HP Color LaserJet CP4005 Series printers can automatically classify media into one of the following
categories:
●Plain
● Transparency
● Glossy
● Extra-heavy glossy
● Glossy film
● Heavy
● Light
The automatic media type sensor functions only when that tray is configured to Any Type Plain.
Configuring a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glossy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.
NOTE Get optimal performance with the automatic media sensing...

Tray 2 and optional Tray 3 sensing
Expanded sensing
●The printer stops the first five pages fed from each paper tray to sense the type and averages the
five results.
● The printer assumes that the sixth and all subsequent pages are of the same media type, until the
printer is turned off or goes into sleep mode, or until the tray is opened.
Transparency only (default)
● The printer does not stop any pages for sensing but distinguishes between transparencies
(Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).
●...

Configuring input trays
The printer allows you to configure input trays by type and size. You can load different media in the
printer’s input trays and then request media by type or size using the control panel.
NOTEIf you have used other HP LaserJet printer models, you might be accustomed to
configuring Tray 1 to  First mode or  Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet CP4005 Series
printers, setting the Tray 1 size and type to  ANY SIZE is equivalent to  First mode. Setting the
size or type for Tray 1 to a...

A Setting saved  message appears, and then the current type and size settings are displayed.
8. If size and type are now correct, press 
 to clear the message.
Configuring a tray to match print job settings
1.In the software application, specify the source tray, the paper size, and the paper type.
2. Send the job to the printer.
If the tray needs to be configured, the  LOAD TRAY X: message appears.
3. Load the tray with the correct paper. When the tray is closed, the  TRAY X SIZE= appears.
4. If the...
