Explanation

Determines how the printer responds to jobs that request certain trays.

USE REQUESTED TRAY: Determines whether the printer tries to pull paper from a different tray than the one that you selected in the printer driver.

●EXCLUSIVELY: Sets the printer to pull paper only from the tray that you selected and not pull from another tray, even if the tray that you selected is empty.

●FIRST: Sets the printer to pull from the tray that you selected first, but allows the printer to pull from another tray automatically if the tray that you selected is empty.

MANUAL FEED PROMPT: Determines when the printer shows a prompt regarding pulling from tray 1 if your print job does not match the type or size that is loaded in any other tray.

●ALWAYS: Select this option if you always want to be prompted before the printer pulls from tray 1.

●UNLESS LOADED: Prompts you only if tray 1 is empty.

PS DEFER MEDIA: Controls whether the PostScript (PS) or HP paper handling model is used to print jobs. ENABLED causes PS to defer to the HP paper handling model. DISABLED uses the PS paper handling model.

SIZE/TYPE PROMPT: Use this menu item to control whether the tray configuration message and its prompts are shown whenever a tray is opened and closed. These prompts instruct you to set the type or size if the tray is configured for a type or size other than the type or size that is loaded in the tray.

Sets how long the printer remains idle before it enters Sleep mode.

Sleep mode offers the following advantages:

●Minimizes the amount of power consumed by the printer when it is idle

●Reduces wear on electronic components in the printer (turns off the display backlight, but the display is still readable)

The printer automatically comes out of Sleep mode when you send a print job, press a printer control panel button, open a tray, or open the top cover.

To turn sleep mode on and off, see Sleep Mode in the Resets submenu.
