HP (Hewlett-Packard) LN17 Printer User Manual


 
Automatic Tray Switching
2-18 LN17 and LN17ps Printers User Guide
Example: Lower Tray-Main Tray
Suppose you have a lower tray installed and you want to
maximize the paper supply. But you also want to print special
paper, such as envelopes or labels, through the front tray.
Table 2.7 below illustrates how to set the Source Mapping
settings so that the printer switches between the lower and
main trays as one tray becomes empty, yet leaves the front
tray available.
When using the settings in Table 2.7, choose Upper, Lower, or
Large Capacity (or an equivalent paper source, as shown in
Table 2.3 on page 2-14) to engage tray switching. To print a
job on special paper, choose Manual, Manual Envelope, or
Envelope Feeder as the paper source in your application.
