Configure trays
The MFP automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:
●
When you load paper into the tray
●
When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a
software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings
The following message appears on the control panel:Tray <X> [type] [size] To change size or type,
touch “Modify”. To accept, touch “OK”..
NOTE The prompt does not appear if you are printing from tray 1 and tray 1 is configured for
Any Size and Any Type.
NOTE If you have used other HP LaserJet printer models, you might be accustomed to
configuring tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet CM4730 MFP series,
setting tray 1 size and type to Any Size is equivalent to First mode. Setting size or type for tray 1
to a setting other than Any Size is equivalent to Cassette mode.
