Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
The automatic media type s ensor functions only when that tray is configured to ANY TYPE. Configuring
a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glo ssy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.
The HP Color LaserJet CP6015 Series printers can automatically classify many paper types into one of
the following categories:
● Plain
● Transparency
● Glossy
● Glossy film (tough paper)
● Heavy
For more control, a specific type must be se lected in the job or configured in a tray.
Auto-sense settings
Full sensing (available only for tray 1)
● The product recognizes plain and heavy paper, 
transparencies, glossy paper, and tough paper.
● Each time the product begins a print job, it stops the every page to sense the type.
● This is the slowest mode.
Expanded sensing (default) (available for all trays) ●The product recognizes plain and heavy paper, 
transparencies, glossy paper, and tough paper.
● Each time the product begins a print job, 
it stops the first page to sense the type.
100 Chapter 7   Paper and print media ENWW
 
						

							●The product assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as
the first page.
● This is the second-fastest mode, and is usef
ul for using stacks of the same media type.
Transparency only ●The product does not stop any pages for sens
ing but distinguishes between transparencies
(Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).
● This is the fastest mode and is useful 
for high-volume printing in Normal mode.
For more information about setting these options, see 
Print Quality menu on page 22
Select the media by  source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating syst em, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media
when you send a print job.  Source, Type, and  Size settings appear in the  Page Setup, Print , or Print
Properties  dialog boxes in most software programs.  Unless you change these settings, the product
automatically selects a tray  using the default settings.
Source
To print by Source select a specific tray for the product to pu ll from. If you select a tray that is configured
for a type or size that does not match your print j ob, the product prompts you to load the tray with the
type or size of print media for your print job before  printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins
printing.
Type and Size
Printing by  Type or Size  means that you want the product to pull  from the tray that is loaded with the
correct type and size of media. Selecting media by ty pe rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special media from accidental use.  For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead
and you select plain paper, the product will not pull the letter head from that tray. Instead, it will pull from
a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured fo r plain paper on the product control panel. Selecting
media by Type and Size results in significantly bett er print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and
transparencies. Using the wrong setting might result  in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type
for special print media, such as labels or transparencies. Print by Size for envelopes, if possible.
● To print by Type or Size, sele
ct the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the  Print dialog
box, or the  Print Properties  dialog box, depending on the software program.
● If you often print on a certain type or size of media, configure a tray for that type or size. Then,
when you select that type or size
 as you print a job, the product automatically pulls media from the
tray that is configured for that type or size.
