HP OfficeJet Pro 8740: switching of paper trays

I wonder if there is a way to pass using Tray 1 and 2. I would like to keep the legal paper in tray 2 and regular letter paper in Tray 1 format, but can not find a way to select the tray 2 when I want to print legal size documents.

Hi @apiscopo,

I just wanted to stop and share my own suggestions for you want to print legal size of tray media your Officejet 8740 2.

After checking the specs of the printer, you cannot load and print from legal paper in tray 2, and just plain paper is an option.

The printer's specifications

I know that's not what you want to do however, I hope that helps answer your question.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8630: HP Officejet Pro 8630 Setup loading paper

    I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8630. Through the installation process, it is stuck at the loading paper. I loaded the paper in the upper and lower trays. I checked the trays and cartridges are seated well. Clicking next translates into a printer Calibration cycle - then returns to the loading paper. Help! Thank you.

    Hey @Zaldar,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that your Officejet Pro 8630 e-all-in-one printer doesn't detect paper during initialization. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once completed this document explains How to solve problems of choice with your printer. If at this point, you are still unable to initialize the printer, the printer must be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking here and filling out the form below to discuss the options.

  • ... My BRAND NEW HP Officejet Pro 8630 load photo paper...

    I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8630 and it will NOT print on paper HP Premium Plus Photo or a generic brand of paper photo.  I just unboxed and configure all web settings.  Printing on plain paper works fine; However, when I place a small load of ~ 20 sheets of paper in the UPPER tray, the printer is trying to load then present and error message "Out of Paper".  I can then immediately turn around and put a single or the stack of paper in the upper tray and the printer will print.  I tried a single sheet of photo on a stack of regular paper, remove the stack of photo paper and loosening the battery in order to ensure that they don't are not glued together, as well as turn off the printer and the cleaning of all THE rolls by instructional video of HP and it still DOES NOT... (out of paper message).

    I got exactly the same problem with an Officejet Pro 8600 this printer just replaced.  I had a similar but even more frustrating problem with HP 8500Pro; None of them will properly load the photo paper.  I do not know how to choose the type of appropriate paper via the print from the application menu and I tried to choose the types of paper "regularly."  No solution worked.  I'll take my stack of photo papers to the store chain that I bought the printer since they have the same model of 8630 display.  I will then try to print a test them to see if the same error occurs.  If it works there, I'll take this point to poor quality HP control and quickly return my printer.  If them does not load, I have to draw them on paper photo off their tray, and then try again.

    Please help...

    Update:

    I went back to the store I bought the printer from.  They had Xerox 80 lb stock in Tray 1 and it printed without problem.  I took a stack of my HP Premium Plus Photo Paper (~ 20 sheets), removed their and mine inserted into Tray 1.  It would not load the paper and gave the same error 'out of paper '.  Commercial agent has experienced the same problem.  She then withdrew the paper except just a sheet of my Photo paper; It is then printed.  It prints all the way up to 4 sheets inserted at the same time in the status bar.  Any more of 3 sheets caused the printer to fail to load the paper.  It sounds like a fault with HP loading mechanism.  I noticed that the Xerox 80 lb pound felt slightly thinner my photo paper I have so bought Advanced Photo Paper from HP (66lb) as opposed to the Premium Plus.   I took a pile of about 15 leaves for the printer and loaded.  It seems to load well and has not failed with an error.

    HP... you've had several lines of OfficeJet Pro to do things and it seems you are always dropping the ball with a defective printer product.  Where is your quality control?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500: no option to tray 2 in Windows 8

    We have a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910n with the latest firmware. People in the office running Windows Vista and Windows 7 set the default printer for "Tray 2" because that's where we put scrap paper (that is, document that has already been printed on one side.) For official documents they temporarily replace the parameter draw Tray 1, which contains unused paper.

    Recently, we have added two laptops with Windows 8, which uses the driver "in the BONE" provided by Microsoft. Users see only two options for the selection of the status bar: "Automatic" and "tray 1". There is no tray 2 option.

    Issues related to the:

    1. other members foum using Windows 8 May the options they see for paper tray on a printer that uses the driver "in the BONE" Windows 8? (In fact, can someone confirm that this is a problem?)

    2. If it is a question, is there a solution?

    3. If there is no solution, can I file a bug with HP or Microsoft report?

    To answer your questions:

    1. I have not access to Win8 so I can't confirm anything for you in this area.  It seems that the default driver does not recognize the features of your printer.

    2. download and install the Win8 http://support.hp.com Print and Scan drivers
    3. If there is a bug, you should contact HP HP. is responsible for the drivers installed on the operating system and online.  If a change must be made no matter where HP is the only responsible party that would be able to.

  • OfficeJet Pro 860: 860 constantly paper jam Pro

    We have a wireless connection on our new printer. Since this printer, we constantly get the error message "paper jam - remove rear etc...". There is no paper jam. We have reloaded drivers. We must constantly turn the printer off and on again to get it working. Is it a problem to know, what can we do? Thank you

    Hello @VictoriaAUS,

    Thanks for dropping by the HP's Support Forums! I see that you get an error message "Paper jam" on your HP Officejet Pro 8600. You have removed the back and do not see any paper inside.

    First of all, go ahead and perform a hard reset:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer.  Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
        
    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup).
        
    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.
        
    6. the printer should automatically power back upward.  If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    It is recommended that the printer is plugged directly into a wall socket to ensure a uniform level of power.  Sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

    You still see the error? If so, please try to update the printers Firmware. Start here: get printer updates

    Let me know the results. I'll watch for your reply.

  • You are using windows 7, how can I get my Officejet Pro K8600 print on paper 13 x 19?

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7. Now I can't get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly on paper 13 x 19. It prints on paper 13 x 19, but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click on print, click Properties, change the Super B 13 x 19 paper, press ok, watch box paper 13 x 19 with images by filling out the document, I click ok to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on paper 13 x 19 rather than fill the paper 13 x 19. I did not have this problem (and still haven't) with my old laptop with XP. It is the operating system or is it a bad setting in the properties? I tried to compare the property settings in both computers, but I can't find any differences. I don't think it's the driver... Please help!

    Hello HW,.

    Try this: go to devices and printers and right click on the of K8600 Officejet Pro and click on printer properties. Go to the Advanced tab and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint. Try another print and see if it works now. If you still see the same question to see if there is an option of scaling in the print dialog in the application you are printing from.

  • OfficeJet x476dw: officejet pro x476dw legal size paper adf scan

    Hello

    I've been using officejet pro x476dw for 6 months, and I realized that I can't scan legal size paper 2 sides.

    It is impossible to scan legal-size documents 2 faces on ADF?

    I need to scan MANUALLY?

    If this machine supports 2-side of legal paper scan, are there other ways to facilitate this work?

    I often scan more than 40 pages with 2 faces legal paper...

    Please help me experts... TT

    I heard, Canon and Ricoh offer some disc to make it possible to use software...

    HP offers this kind of software too?... TT

    Hello

    Sorry to inform that x476dw model only support scanning two-sided (2 sides) up to letter size but it support simplex (1 side), scanning up to legal size.

    I suggest you to analyze manually with the help of flat, if you have only a few pages. But as you mentioned above, you often need to scan > 40pgs double face of legal papers. One way is to digitize the odd pages and even pages separately and try to use 3rd party app for example Pdfsam (www.pdfsam.org), basic version is open source (free to use) to merge the 2 files into 1.

    1. Load your stack of documents by normal with the first pages (pg 1, 3... 39) facing upward on the Doc feeder, ADF
    2. Analyze the stack of papers in pdf & registered as 1 file
    3. Flip & organize your stack of papers since the last GP from (pg 40, 38, 2) meet in AAD
    4. Analyze the stack of papers in pdf & registered as 2nd file
    5. Start of Pdfsam - use the "Different mix" standard Plugin to merge the 2 scans
    6. First select 1 file by the 2nd file tracking
    7. Select 'Destination output file' and 'Run' to merge to a full "duplex" scanned PDF.

    Refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZf50gRzDho for example on the use of Pdfsam

  • Officejet printers with 2nd undetected paper tray

    If you happen to run across the following problem with tray 2 not detected on your Officejet printers, try the following steps that should help solve the problem.

    (1) turn off the printer

    (2) pull tray 2 completely out.

    (2) turn on the printer without 2nd tray

    (3) turn off the printer

    (4) install 2nd tray

    (5) turn on the printer

    Try the steps I provided below and let me know if this worked for you. My current setup for premium 8600 goes like this.

    The PC printing: tray 2 is set as default Type on paper: plain paper

    Copy of the printer: tray 2 is set as default Type on paper: plain paper.

    Tray 1 contains photo paper, tray 2 contains plain paper.

    This way when I print from the PC it always pull out tray 2 unless I select manually 1 tray to print photos. The same for Copies, when I make a copy he always starting from tray 2, unless I manually select to pull from Tray 1.

    Tray 2 as the default value for the copy configuration steps

    1. press on copy

    2. tap on settings

    3 change the Type of paper in paper-regular

    4 change Select tray 2 tray

    5 scroll and select set as new default.

    Press home to return to the home screen. Press copy, tap Settings and check if Select tray is always tray 2. The current version of the firmware on my printer is CLP1CA1136AR. You can check your firmware version by printing the printer status page in the Setup Menu.

    Let me know if it worked.

  • Color LaserJet Pro 500: grateful additional paper tray

    Brand new LaserJet Pro 500 and 500 sheets and heavy media bin (model CE522A/part number 2273B00AA). Machine will not recognize the paper tray.

    Last night, I left it unplugged and the two separate rooms - put back them together this morning, then plugged the power and network in and turned on. When the machine starts up, I see "true HP installed', 'Configuration' and 'Initializing' messages.

    I have a case open with HP support. She sent me this morning to say that the part number I sent relate to the status bar and the serial number I sent was the printer. I took the numbers directly from the status bar and lose faith in a hurry.

    Please let me know if there is a driver setting I'm missing or something to make it go fast.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    The plateau of 500 pages CE522A is not intended for any model of the Laserjet 500 printer, it is intended for the previous models such as the CM3530 printer for example.

    What is your exact printer model?

    The M525 model supports the tray CE530A:

    http://store.HP.com/wcsstore/hpusstore/PDF/LJ_ENT_500_MFP_M525%20Series.PDF

    The M551 or M570 models supports the Board of CF084A:

  • HP pro 8500 wireless 2nd paper tray / windows 7

    I just replaced my Win XP system with a system of Win 7.  I installed the software wireless OfficeJet Pro 8500 on the HP site.  On the XP system, I could choose the feeder (1 or 2) of the printer preferences.  On the Win 7 system I see more this option in the printer preferences.  How should I do?

    Make sure that the tray 2 is defined as installed:

    Enter the control panel > devices and printers.
    Right-click the printer icon, and then click printer properties.
    Click the device settings tab.
    Set the Second tray installed , and then click OK to save the change.

  • must my HP Officejet Pro 8500 first select correct tray based on the size of the documents

    The Prime Minister has 8500, two bins for paper, one for 8.5 x 11 and the default tray handles 8.5 x 14.

    I need to change the printer settings to get it to use the correct paper tray whenever I want to use 8.5 x 14.

    There is a configuration that allows the printer to select the correct tray according to the size of the document sent to the printer?

    OK, unfortunately the printer will do that automatically. However, if you go into your printing preferences, you can configure a print shortcut that makes switching back MUCH easier. If you need help on how to do that let me know.

    I hope this helps!
