							Configure trays
NOTE:If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring
Tray 1 to  First mode or  Cassette  mode. For this product, setting  TRAY 1 SIZE to the ANY SIZE  setting
and setting  TRAY 1 TYPE  to ANY TYPE is equivalent to  First mode. Setting  TRAY 1 SIZE and TRAY 1
TYPE  to any other settings is equivalent to  Cassette mode.
The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:
●When you load paper into the tray
● When you specify a particular tray or paper type for a print job through the printer driver or a software
program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings
The following message appears on the control panel:  TRAY  [TYPE] [SIZE] To change size or
type press OK . To accept settings press 
.
NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the  ANY
SIZE  and ANY TYPE  settings.

Select the paper by source, type, or size
Three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper 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 pull from. If you select a tray that is configured
for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to load the tray with the
type or size of paper for your 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 paper. Selecting paper by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special paper from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead
and you select plain paper, the product will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from
a tray that is loaded with plain paper and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel.
Selecting paper by type and size results in significantly better print quality for most paper types. 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, select 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 paper, 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 paper from the tray
that is configured for that type or size.
