HP M551DN manual Configure trays, Configure a tray when loading paper

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

NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the Any Size and Any Type settings. In this situation, if the print job does not specify a tray, the product prints from Tray 1, even if the paper size and type settings in the print job do not match the paper loaded in Tray 1.
