Benefits of printing by type and size of paper
If you frequently use several kinds of paper, once trays are set correctly, you do not have to check which paper is loaded in
each tray before you print. This is especially helpful when the product is shared and more than one person loads or removes
paper.
Printing by type and size of paper is a way to be sure that print jobs always print on the required paper.
To set the type for the paper or media you loaded when you are unsure which type (such as bond or recycled) to choose,
check the label on the package of paper. For supported types of paper, see the introduce guide on the product CD, or go to
www.hp.com/support/lj9000
.
Note
The type and size settings can also be configured from the HP Web JetAdmin software for networked products. See
the driver online help.
