ENWWSpecifying paper to print on79 Specifying paper to print on You can configure the printer to select paper by type (such as plain or letterhead) and size (such as letter or A4), as opposed to source (a paper tray). Printing by Type and Size means that the printer to pulls paper from the first tray that is loaded with the type or size that you select. Selecting paper by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays, which helps to protect special paper from accidental use. (However, selecting the ANY SIZE , ANY TYPE , or PLAIN setting does not turn on the tray lock-out function.) For example, if Tray 2 is configured for letterhead, and you specify in the driver that you want to print on plain paper, the printer w ill not pull the letterhead from Tray 2. Instead, the printer pulls paper from a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the printer control panel. Selecting paper by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media such as labels or grayscale transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes. Benefits of printing by type and size of paper If you frequently use several kinds of paper, once trays are set correctly, you do not have to check which paper is loaded in each tray before you print. This is especially helpful when the printer is shared and more than one person loads or removes paper. Printing by type and size of paper is a way to be sure that print jobs always print on the appropriate paper. To set the type for the paper or media you loaded when you are unsure which type (such as bond or recycled) to choose, check the label on the package of paper. For supported types of paper, see Paper specifications or go to www.hp.com/support/lj9050_lj9040 . Note The type and size settings can also be configured from the embedded Web server or HP Web Jetadmin software for networked printers. See the printer driver online help. To print by type and size of paper NoteSettings in the printer driver and software program override control-panel settings. (Software program settings generally override printer driver settings.) 1 Load and adjust the trays. (See Loading input trays, or go to www.hp.com/support/ lj9050_lj9040.) 2 At the printer control panel, press , use or to scroll to PAPER HANDLING, and then press . 3 Do one of the following: To allow the printer to automatically pull the type and size of paper loaded in optional Tray 1: Set TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY SIZE and TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY TYPE . To print by type and size from optional Tray 1: Set TRAY 1 SIZE to the size loaded, and set TRAY 1 TYPE to the type loaded. To print by type and size from Tray 2, Tray 3, or optional Tray 4 when the tray is loaded with standard size paper: Just set the type. If the size is a detectable standard size, it will be automatically detected. If the size is an undetectable size, set the size. To print by type and size from Tray 2, Tray 3, or optional Tray 4 when the tray is loaded with a custom size paper: set the size and type. For the size, select Custom, and then set the values using the measurements on the guides in the trays. 4 From the program or printer driver, select the type and size of paper.
80Chapter 3 Advanced printing tasks ENWW Using the job-storage features Four special job-storage features are available for this printer. All four are available when a hard disk is installed. Private jobs and proof and hold jobs are available in RAM (with no hard disk installed). ●Private jobs. When you send a private job to the printer, the job does not print until you enter a PIN at the printer. ●Stored jobs. You can download a job such as a personnel form, time sheet, or calendar, to the printer and allow other users to print the job at any time. Stored jobs are copied to the optional hard disk and are not deleted if retention space on the printer becomes limited. ●QuickCopy jobs. You can print the requested number of copies of a job and then store a copy of the job on the optional hard disk in the printer. Storing the job allows you to print additional copies of the job later. ●Proof and hold jobs. This feature provides a quick and easy way to print and proof one copy of a job and then print the additional copies. Follow the instructions below to gain access to the job retention features at the computer. Then, see the specific section for the type of job you want to create. CAUTION If you turn the printer off, all QuickCopy, Proof and hold, and Private jobs are deleted.

ENWWOverview85 4 Security features Overview This section explains important security features available on your printer: ●Secure Disk Erase ●Security lock ●Job storage features
86Chapter 4 Security features ENWW Secure Disk Erase You might need to protect deleted data from unauthorized access on the printer hard drive. Secure Disk Erase is a security feature that you can use to securely erase print jobs from the hard drive. Security levels are set by using HP Web Jetadmin. Three levels of Secure Disk Erase are available: ●Non-Secure Fast Erase This is a simple file-table erase function. Access to the file is removed, but actual data is retained on the disk until it is overwritten by subsequent data-storage operations. This is the fastest mode. Non-Secure Fast Erase is the default erase mode. ●Secure Fast Erase Access to the file is removed, and the data is overwritten with a fixed, identical character pattern. This is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten. Secure Fast Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the clearing of disk media. ●Secure Sanitizing Erase This level is similar to the Secure Fast Erase mode . In addition, data is repetitively overwritten by using an algorithm that prevents any residua l data persistence. This mode will impact performance. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the sanitization of disk media. Affected data Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are created during the print and copying process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, and disk-based macros (forms). No te that stored jobs will only be securely overwritten when they have been deleted through the Retrieve Job menu on the device after the appropriate erase mode has been set. (See Deleting a stored job.) This feature will not impa ct data that is stored on flash-based printer non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) that retains default printer settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature does not affect data that is stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does not impact data that is stored on the flash-based system boot RAM. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor does it immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode changes how the printer cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been changed. Gaining access to Secure Disk Erase Use HP Web Jetadmin to set the Secure Disk Erase feature. Additional information For additional information about the HP Secure Disk Erase feature, see the HP support flyer or go to www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin ).
ENWWSecurity lock87 Security lock The security lock is a mechanical lock that can be used to prevent the removal of internal computer components, Optional EIO accessories are not protected, however. Purchase the lock assembly separately, and then install it on the product. Job storage features Several job-storage features are available for the printer. These features include printing private jobs, storing print jobs, quick-copying jobs, and proofing and holding jobs.
