HP LaserJet M4345xm User Manual

							Control print jobs
When a job is sent to the printer, the printer driver controls what paper  tray is used to pull media
through the printer. By default, the printer automatically selects the tray, but a specific tray can be
chosen based on three user-specified settings:  Source, Type, and Size. These settings are
available from the  Application Setting  dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver. 
SettingDescription
SourceDirects the printer to pull paper from a user-specified tray.
The printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type
or size media is loaded in it. To begin printing, load the
selected tray with the correct type or size of print media for
the print job. After loading the tray, the printer begins
printing. If the printer does not begin printing:
●Verify the tray configuration matches the size or type of
the print job.
● Press 
OK to have the printer try to print from another
tray.
Type or Size Directs the printer to pull paper or print media from the first
tray that is loaded with the type or size that you selected.
Always print by Type for special print media such as labels
or transparencies .

							Select output bins
The MFP has two output-bin locations: the ADF output bin and the standard output bin(s) on the
output device.
When documents are scanned or copied by using  the ADF, the original documents are automatically
delivered to the ADF output bin. Copies are delivered to the standard output bin or the output bin(s)
on the stapler/stacker or to the 3-bin mailbox.
Documents that are sent to the MFP from a computer are delivered to the standard output bin or the
output bin(s) on the stapler/stacker or to the 3-bin mailbox.
Select an output location
It is recommended that you select an output  location (bin) through your program or driver. Where and
how you make selections depends on your program or  driver. If you cannot select an output location
from the program or driver, set the default  output location from the MFP control panel.
1. Scroll to and touch Administration .
2. Touch  Default Job Options .
3. Touch  Output Bin .
4. Touch the desired output bin.
3-bin mailbox output bins
If you are using the 3-bin mailbox, three output bins are available. You can configure these bins to
act as individual mailboxes, or they can be combined as a single bin to stack documents. You can
set up these options in the  Device Behavior menu, on the MBM-3 Configuration  submenu. This menu
is available only when the 3-bin mailbox is installed.
The top two bins hold up to 100 sheets of paper. A sensor causes the MFP to stop when the bin is
full. MFP operation continues when you empty or  reduce the amount of media in the bin.
The lower bin holds up to 500 sheets of paper.
Selecting face-up or face-down output for copy jobs
The MFP can deliver pages either face-up or face-down. The default setting is to deliver jobs face-
down. Documents that have multiple pages are delivered with the correct page order. Face-down
output is the fastest delivery method.
Select face-up output when you want to use the  straightest paper path, such as when printing on
heavy media. Documents that have multiple pages are  delivered with the pages in reverse order.

							Use the stapler
The optional stapler/stacker can staple jobs of up to 30sheets of 75g/m2 (20lb) paper. The stapler
can staple these sizes: A4, Letter, Legal, Executive (JIS), and 8.5x13. It can stack up to 500sheets of
paper.
● Paper weight can range from 60to120g/m
2 (16to32lb). Heavier paper might have a stapling limit
of fewer than 30sheets.
● If the job consists of only one sheet, or if 
it consists of more than 30sheets, the MFP delivers the
job to the bin, but the  MFP does not staple the job.
● The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other types of print media, such as
envelopes, transparencies, or labels.
When you want the MFP staple a document, select stapling in the software. You can usually select
the stapler in your program or printer driver, although some options might be available only in the
printer driver. Where and how you make selections depends on your program or printer driver.
If you cannot select the stapler in the program or  printer driver, select the stapler at the MFP control
panel.
The stapler accepts print jobs if it is out of staples,  but it does not staple the pages. The printer driver
can be configured to disable the staple option if the staple cartridge is empty.
