Configure trays
NOTE:Tray 2 is sold as an accessory. For ordering information, see HP supplies
and accessories.
To configure trays, you must have Tray 2 installed and turned on in the printer
driver.

media from Tray 2 (if it is installed and loaded with media). You can change this default
setting by using the following features:
•Tray Lock:  Use this feature to protect special media such as letterhead or
preprinted media from accidental use. If the device runs out of media while printing
a document, it will not use media from a locked tray to complete the print job.
• Default Tray:  Use this feature to determine the first tray from which the device
draws media.
NOTE: To use the Tray Lock and Default Tray settings, you must select the
automatic tray selection option in the device software. If the device is on a network
and you set a Default Tray, the setting will affect all users of the device.
