Determines how the printer responds to jobs that
request certain trays.
USE REQUESTED TRAY: Determines whether
the printer tries to pull paper from a different tray
than the one that you selected in the printer
driver.
● EXCLUSIVELY: Sets the printer to pull
paper only from the tray that you selected
and not pull from another tray, even if the
tray that you selected is empty.
● FIRST: Sets the printer to pull from the tray
that you selected first, but allows the printer
to pull from another tray automatically if the
tray that you selected is empty.
MANUAL FEED PROMPT: Determines when
the printer shows a prompt regarding pulling
from tray 1 if your print job does not match the
type or size that is loaded in any other tray.
● ALWAYS: Select this option if you always
want to be prompted before the printer pulls
from tray 1.
● UNLESS LOADED: Prompts you only if tray
1 is empty.
PS DEFER MEDIA: Controls whether the
PostScript (PS) or HP paper handling model is
used to print jobs. ENABLED causes PS to
defer to the HP paper handling model.
DISABLED uses the PS paper handling model.
SIZE/TYPE PROMPT: Use this menu item to
control whether the tray configuration message
and its prompts are shown whenever a tray is
opened and closed. These prompts instruct you
to set the type or size if the tray is configured for
a type or size other than the type or size that is
loaded in the tray.

Sets how long the printer remains idle before it
enters Sleep mode.
Sleep mode offers the following advantages:
● Minimizes the amount of power consumed
by the printer when it is idle
● Reduces wear on electronic components in
the printer (turns off the display backlight,
but the display is still readable)
The printer automatically comes out of Sleep
mode when you send a print job, press a printer
control panel button, open a tray, or open the top
cover.
To turn sleep mode on and off, see Sleep Mode
in the
Resets submenu.
