HP 5100LE manual Paper-handling menu Item/default Values Explanation

Paper-handling menu

When paper-handling settings are correctly configured through the control panel, you can print by choosing the type and size of paper from the printer driver or software application.

Some items in this menu (such as duplex and manual feed) can be opened from a software application, or from the printer driver (if the appropriate driver is installed). Printer-driver and software application settings override control panel settings.

Table 17. Paper-handling menu

Item/default	Values	Explanation
TRAY 1 MODE=	FIRST	Determine how the printer will use Tray 1.
FIRST	CASSETTE	FIRST: If paper is loaded in Tray 1, the printer will pull paper
		from that tray first.
		CASSETTE: A paper size must be assigned to Tray 1 by
		using the TRAY 1 SIZE option (the next item in this menu
		when TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE). This allows Tray 1 to be
		used as a reserved tray.
TRAY 1 SIZE=	For supported media,	This item appears only when TRAY 1 MODE= CASSETTE.
LETTER	see page 26.	Set the value to correspond with the paper size in Tray 1.
TRAY 1 TYPE=	For supported media,	This item appears only when TRAY 1 MODE= CASSETTE.
PLAIN	see page 26.	Set the value to correspond with the paper type in Tray 1.
TRAY 2 TYPE=	For supported media,	Set the value to correspond with the paper type in Tray 2.
PLAIN	see page 26.
TRAY 3 TYPE=	For supported media,	This item appears only when a Tray 3 is installed. Set the
PLAIN	see page 26.	value to correspond with the paper type in Tray 3.
TRAY 4 TYPE=	For supported media,	This item appears only when a Tray 4 is installed. Set the
PLAIN	see page 26.	value to correspond with the paper type in Tray 4.
MANUAL FEED=OFF	OFF	Feed the paper manually from Tray 1, rather than
	ON	automatically from a tray. When MANUAL FEED=ON and Tray
		1 is empty, the printer goes offline when it receives a print
		job and displays MANUALLY FEED [PAPER SIZE].
DUPLEX=OFF	OFF	This item appears only when an optional duplexer is
	ON	installed. Set the value to ON to print on both sides (duplex)
		or OFF to print on one side (simplex) of a sheet of paper.
BINDING=	LONG EDGE	This item appears only when an optional duplexer is
LONG EDGE	SHORT EDGE	installed and the duplex option is on. Choose the binding
		edge when duplexing (printing on both sides of paper).
OVERRIDE A4 WITH	NO	Choose YES to print on letter-size paper when an A4 job is
LETTER=NO	YES	sent but no A4-size paper is loaded in the printer (or to print
		on A4-size paper when a letter job is sent but no letter-size
		paper is loaded in the printer).

CONFIGURE FUSER	NO
MODE MENU=NO	YES

Configure the fuser mode that is associated with each paper type. (This is only necessary if you are experiencing problems when printing on certain paper types.)

YES: Additional items appear.

Note: To see the current default fuser mode for each paper type, select YES, scroll back to the information menu, and then print a menu map (page 47).
