Problem

Solutions: On the HP LaserJet 4 printer, in order to print multiple pages from the MP Tray, users normally have to press the On-line button after each page (such as envelopes or legal size paper). However, if the customer wants to print continuously without a pause, there is a way to do this.

The purpose of the MP Tray is to emulate a paper cassette that can handle most any size paper the customer chooses. Users must have the HP LaserJet 4 sheet feeder selected, and the Paper Size/Type location set to Bin 4. Bin 4 is the continuous feed selection for the MP Tray. The steps to make the MP Tray continuous are below.

Step 1
      A.      Take the printer off-line
      B.      Press the Menu button until the window reads CONFIG MENU
      C.      Press the Item button once
      D.      Press the + (plus) button until it reads MP TRAY=CASS
      E.      Press the Enter button to put the asterisk (*) on the selection
      F.      Press the Item button once
      G.      Press the + button until it reads LOCK=MP on the window
      H.      Press the Enter button to put the asterisk on the selection
      I.      Press the On-line button

This will change the default on the printer for the MP Tray. This needs to be done only once.

The following steps should be followed whenever a user wants to print various paper sizes from the MP Tray.

Step 2
      A.      On the printer, press the Paper Size button. The default paper size will be listed.
      B.      Press the + (plus) button until it reads the desired paper size
      C.      Press the Enter button to put the asterisk (*) on the selection
      D.      Put the printer On-line, and print
      E.      Remind the customer to change the Paper Size selection each time a different size paper is used in the MP Tray
