Configuring input trays

NOTE

The printer allows you to configure input trays by type and size. You can load different media in the printer’s input trays and then request media by type or size using the control panel.

If you have used other HP LaserJet printer models, you might be accustomed to configuring Tray 1 to first mode or cassette mode. On theHP Color LaserJet 4610n printer, setting Tray 1 size and type to ANY SIZE is equivalent to first mode. Setting size or type for Tray 1 to a setting other than ANY SIZE is equivalent to cassette mode.

The instructions below are to configure the trays at the printer control panel.

NOTE

Configuring trays when the printer gives a prompt

In the following situations, the printer automatically prompts you to configure the tray for type and size:

●when you load paper into the tray

●when you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a software application and the tray is not configured to match the print job’s settings

The control panel displays this message: LOAD TRAY XX: [TYPE] [SIZE], To change type press . The instructions below explain how to configure the tray after the prompt appears.

The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1 and if Tray 1 is configured for ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE.
