HP Printer Tray Behavior
Issue: Tray behavior options: Use Requested Tray and manually feed
Affects: HP Printer
Solutions to the issue:
Tray behavior allows three user-defined options:
1. USE REQUESTED TRAY
Selecting EXCLUSIVELY ensures that the printer will not automatically select another tray when you indicate that a specific tray should be used.
âSelecting FIRST allows the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty. EXCLUSIVELY is the default setting.
2. MANUAL FEED
If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always displays a prompt before pulling from the multipurpose tray. If you select UNLESS LOADED, the system will display the prompt only if the multipurpose tray is empty.
3. PS DEFER MEDIA
This setting affects how non-HP PostScript drivers will behave with the device. There is no need to change this setting if using the drivers supplied by HP. If set to ENABLED, non-HP PostScript drivers will use the HP tray selection method as the HP drivers do. If set to DISABLED, some non-HP PostScript drivers will use the PostScript tray selection method instead of the HP method.
