Printing by Type and Size of Paper
2 From the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel, select the
paper type for each tray. If you are unsure what type you are loading (such
as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper. For
supported types, see page 335
.
3 Select the paper size settings from the control panel.
Tray 1: If the printer has been set to TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE from the
Paper Handling Menu, also set the paper size from the Paper Handling
Menu. If custom paper is loaded, set the size of custom paper from the
Printing Menu to match the paper loaded in Tray 1. To print custom-size
paper, see page 127
.
Other trays: Paper size settings are adjusted when paper is properly
loaded into the printer. (See the sections on loading paper, starting on
page 84
.)
4 From the software or printer driver, select the desired type and size of
paper.
Note The type and size settings can also be configured from HP JetAdmin for
networked printers. See the printer software help.
To print by type and size, it might be necessary to unload or close Tray 1
or set TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s
control panel. For more information, see page 360
.
Settings in the printer driver and software application override control panel
settings. (Software application settings override printer driver settings.)
