Configure trays

The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:

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 program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings

The following message appears on the control panel:Tray <x> [type] [size] To change size or type, touch “Modify”. To accept, touch “OK”.

NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1 and Tray 1 is configured for Any Custom and Any Type.

NOTE: If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f, setting Tray 1 size to Any Custom is equivalent to First mode. Setting size for Tray 1 to a setting other than Any Custom is equivalent to Cassette mode.
