How do you set the machine to print on letter and legal based on docs that are emailed to me in 1 file. some are legal some are letter. can the printer print it on the right size. i have only the 1 mpt and tray 2. i've just been printing them all on legal. this takes tooo much time. please advise.

2 things
1st make sure the paper guides are set correctly on the trays for legal make sure it's exactly on legal or it put the tray into universal mode. (To clarfiy the guides in the back which allow you to put legal in the tray.)
2nd Go into menu and then to paper menu and adjust/ confirm the settings for tray 1 and 2. Based on your question tray 1 is letter and tray 2 is legal, so make sure both of the tray size and type are set correct.

Hello Steve !
The only way scanning Legal documents on this HP LJ 3030 willbe using the ADF ( Automatic Document Feeder) since the size of the flatbed its only for letter.

So, after placing the document on the automatic document feeder theres a few setting you will need to change on the printer.

Number 1 : Go to Main Menu on the printer and look for System Setup, under system set up look for Paper setup,hit ok and now look for "Def. Paper Size" and set it to "Legal"

Number 2 : you should have a button on the printer control panel (Physical printer) that says " Reduce / Enlarge" , hit it and make sure the one selected is "original=100%"

Now just hit "Start Copy" and it print LEGAL ! it worked for me

Hope this help !

Open the manual feed tray and place the paper in. It should automatically feed from that tray.

I would try reinstalling the Vista driver, then turn the printer off and on and reboot. No guarantees but it's worth a shot if you haven't already done it. Good luck!

Sounds like your secratery's printer is set to ignore paper mismatch errors. It depends on the setting you have in your driver. Can you set your driver on your printer to ignore paper mismatch errors. If not when your printer errors, just try hitting the go button and it should print the document any way.

select scan mode, then select legal on paper select. If you select paper before loading document into the ADF it should go with the size you enter.

you need to go to the printer set up on the desk top, there you can tell the printer what to do

You just stated the problem yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you using Letter or Legal?? then the tray need to be set to that particular size.

If using Legal set to Legal, otherwise the machine will automatically know you are using the wrong size.

You have to go into the menu and change the setting to Legal.
