HP (Hewlett-Packard) 5550 Printer User Manual


 
Paper handling menu
The paper handling menu allows you to configure input trays by size and type. It is important
to correctly configure the trays with this menu before you print for the first time.
Note
If you have used previous HP Color LaserJet printers, you might be accustomed to
configuring Tray 1 to first mode or cassette mode. To mimic the settings for first mode,
configure Tray 1 for size = ANY SIZE and type = ANY TYPE. To mimic the settings for
cassette mode, set either the size or type for Tray 1 to a setting other than ANY.
