Problem

Solutions: The default tray/bin setting on the HP LaserJet IID is set to pull paper from the lower tray when the upper tray becomes empty. If users do not like this (e.g., they put letterhead in tray 2 and it is wasted when the printer pulls from tray 2 when tray 1 is empty), they can change the Tray option from Both to Upper. Changing the setting instructs the printer to pull from the upper tray only; even when it becomes empty. The following steps show how to make this change:

1.      Take the printer Off Line
2.      Press the Menu button until it reads Trays
3.      Press the "+" (plus) key until the Trays option is set to Upper
4.      Press the Menu Reset button (or the Enter button if using an HP LaserJet IIID)
5.      Put printer back On Line

Another option would be to place letterhead in tray 1 and standard paper in tray 2.

Users may have difficulty feeding paper through the manual feed slot if the corresponding cassette is empty. This is true if the Tray setting is set to Both. For example, the paper will not pull through the manual feed slot found on top of the upper cassette if the upper cassette is empty. Customers may want to remember this option when have trouble with unexplained paper jams that occur when manually feeding paper.

One customer wanted an HP LaserJet IIP to pull the first page of the print job from the MP tray and the rest of the pages from the LC tray. The customer put one piece of letterhead paper in the MP tray, normal bond paper in the lower cassette, selected the HP LaserJet IIP sheet feeder, set the form location in WP to Bin 1, and set the printer menu settings to TRAYS=BOTH. This gave the customer the desired results.
