Changing printer control-panel configuration settings
Use the printer control panel to make changes to default printer configuration settings, such as tray size
and type, sleep delay time, printer personality (language), and jam recovery.
You can also gain access to the printer control panel from a computer by using the Settings page of
the embedded Web server. The computer shows the same information as the control panel. For more
information, see
Using the embedded Web server .
CAUTION Configuration settings seldom need to be changed. Hewlett-Packard Company
recommends that only the system administrator change configuration settings.
Tray Behavior menu options
The TRAY BEHAVIOR menu provides the following user-defined options:
● USE REQUESTED TRAY: Select EXCLUSIVELY (the default value) to ensure that the printer will
not automatically select another tray when you indicate that a specific tray should be used.
Select FIRST to allow the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty or contains
a different media type or size.
● MANUALLY FEED PROMPT: If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always
generates a prompt before pulling from the multipurpose tray. If you select UNLESS LOADED, the
system generates the prompt only if the multipurpose tray is empty or if it is configured for a different
type or size.
● PS DEFER MEDIA: If you select ENABLED (the default value), the printer uses HP's paper-
selection process. Select DISABLED to allow the printer to use the Adobe paper-selection process.
● USE ANOTHER TRAY. If you select ENABLED (the default value), the printer prompts users to
use another tray when the selected tray is unavailable. If you select DISABLED, the printer does
not prompt the user.
● SIZE/TYPE PROMPT. If you select DISPLAY (the default value), the printer prompts users to
confirm the media size or type loaded in the tray immediately after the tray has been loaded. If you
select DO NOT DISPLAY, the printer does not prompt the user.
● DUPLEX BLANK PAGES. If you select AUTO (the default value), the printer might not flip pages
in the duplexer for blank pages, which enhances printer performance. If you select YES, the printer
duplexer flips each page.
