HP P4014n How to change default tray

The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other
specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
- Envelopes, labels, and glossy paper can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
- Transparencies and custom size paper can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) and Tray 2.
- Fan paper, transparencies, and labels prior to loading them in the tray.
- Use only paper envelopes. All envelopes should be printed single-sided only. Some
wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
- Do not overload the paper trays.
- Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
- If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Hi,

Step 1- Remove the output tray



Step 2 : Load Envelopes

To print one or more envelopes, follow these steps:

1. Remove all paper from the paper tray, and then slide a stack of envelopes into the tray, with the envelope flaps up and to the left (print-side down), until they stop.

2. Adjust the paper-width guide against the envelopes. Be careful not to bend the envelopes and do not overload the tray.



3. Adjust the paper settings in the Printer Properties dialog box for envelopes. Click the Paper/Quality tab, then select the following print settings:

Size is: The appropriate envelope size
Type is: Automatic or Plain paper

4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK .

5. Print the envelopes.

Riztech

Check the media settings for your paper trays. Make sure they are set properly, also check the diver media settings. Is the problem happening with a specific print job? If it is check the page setup for that document.

Check the Paper Handling Menu. The Tray 1 size and Tray 1 Type should be set to Any Size. This means that the printer should pull the paper from Tray 1 first when paper is loaded in tray 1

Hi ...

If you like to print DL envolopes, check the below 3 points and I am sure you will be able to print from your printer.

• Prepare the printer for envelope loading
  
  
• Prepare envelopes to load
  
  
• Printer Driver Settings
  
  

Prepare the printer:

1. Open the Rear Tray and pull out the Paper Support. Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Support and pull it out until it stops. (See <1> in Figure 1 below.)
   
   
2. Open the Paper Output Tray. Put your finger in the rounded indent beside the Paper Output Tray and open it gently. (See <2> in Figure 1 below.)
   
   
3. Open the Output Tray Extension. Open up and set the Output Tray Extension completely by pressing down the hollow on its front side. (See <3> in Figure 1 below.)
   
   
4. Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever. Set it to the right when printing on envelopes or T-shirt transfers, and left when printing on any other type of paper. (See <4> in Figure 1 below.)
   
   
   * Figure 1
   
   
   
   
   
5. Load the envelope.
   
   1. Load the envelope against the right side of the Rear Tray. (See <1> in Figure 3 below.)
      
   2. Load the envelope with the address side facing UP and the rear flaps DOWN on the left. (See Figure 2 below or, <b> in Figure 3 below.)
      
      * Figure 2
      
      
      
      
      
   3. Pinch the Paper Guide and slide it against the left side of the envelope. (See <2> in Figure 3 below.)
      
      * Figure 3
      
      
      
      Note: Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing. (See <3> in Figure 3 below.)
      
      
   
   
   

Preparing Envelopes to Load:

1. Press down firmly on the edges of the envelopes to make the folds crisp. Also, press firmly on the area that corresponds to the edges of the back flap.
   
   
2. Remove any curling by holding the edges diagonally and bending them gently.
   
   
   
   
3. If the edges of the envelope are inflated or are curling, place the envelope on a flat surface. With a pen, press down while moving it from the center toward the edges of the envelope.
   
   
4. Ensure that no curl or puff exceeds 1/8 in. (3 mm).

Are there settings on the control panel of your printer?
Is the tray 1 the MP tray? (The one that flips towards you)
If so, can you change the settings of the Tray 1 to Envelope on the control panel?

I hope this helps.

I'm running Vista and I thought there MUST be a way to print envelopes! So, this is how I figured out how to print envelopes perfectly! No doubt, this would be how the manual would instruct, but it's apparent that none of us are able to locate our printed copies, right? Guilty as charged!

Slide paper tray out; remove paper you have loaded in your tray. Set envelope in tray (face down, with top of envelope flush left) and adjust both side bars (designated as "1" in paper tray diagram - visible when all paper is removed from paper tray) so that they are flush against envelope. Slide back bar (designated as "2" in paper tray diagram - visible when all paper is removed from paper tray) so that it is flush with edge of envelope. Click print.

Believe defaults are set to #10 envelope. Envelope options - check / click on the following: face up, clockwise rotation and "Feed from" Auto Select. Click on / highlight the 5th envelope depicted in the top row of envelope examples.

Here is a how-to for the printer, but I'm not sure if you mean the printer, or in a program.
If this is not what you need, let me know.

Figure 1: Inserting the envelope Printing guidelines

• Verify that the Out tray is in the down position.
• Avoid using envelopes that have clasps or windows.
• Avoid using envelopes that are shiny or embossed, envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or envelopes that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.

Loading multiple envelopes Preparing to print

1. Pull out the In tray.
2. Slide out both paper guides and remove all paper from the tray.
3. Place no more than 15 envelopes -- with the flap side on the left and facing up -- in the tray.
4. Push the envelopes forward until they stop.
5. Slide the paper guides snugly against the edges of the envelopes, then push the tray forward until it stops. See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Inserting multiple envelopes Printing the envelopes Each software program is different and requires different steps to successfully print envelopes. For instance, in many versions of MS Word, clicking Tools , and then Envelopes and Labels , accesses the envelope-printing feature. Other software programs will differ from this procedure. Consult the Help menu on a software program or User's Guide for instructions for the particular application. Printing guidelines

• Never place more than 15 envelopes in the In tray at one time.
• Align the envelope edges before inserting them.
• Avoid using envelopes that have clasps or windows.
• Avoid using envelopes that are shiny or embossed, envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or envelopes that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
