HP CP4005 manual Configuring input trays, Configuring trays when the printer gives a prompt

Configuring input trays

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.

NOTE If you have used other HP LaserJet printer models, you might be accustomed to configuring Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet CP4005 Series printers, setting the Tray 1 size and type to ANY SIZE is equivalent to First mode. Setting the size or type for Tray 1 to a setting other than ANY SIZE is equivalent to Cassette mode.

NOTE If you are duplex printing, be sure that the media loaded meets the specifications for duplex printing. (See Supported media weights and sizes.)

NOTE The instructions below are to configure the trays at the printer control panel. You can also configure the trays from your computer by accessing the embedded Web server. See Using the embedded Web server.

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 settings

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

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

Configuring a tray when loading paper

NOTE If media is loaded in optional Tray 3 when the printer is in sleep mode, the printer will not sense new media when it comes out of sleep mode. This could cause the printer to use wrong paper for a print job. Be sure to wake the printer before loading media in optional Tray 3.
