note:

If any other HP LaserJet printer models is used, the user might be accustomed to configuring Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers, setting Tray 1 size and type to ANY SIZE is equivalent to First mode. Setting size or type for Tray 1 to a setting other than ANY SIZE is equivalent to Cassette mode.

  note:

If duplex printing option is used, be sure that the media loaded meets the specifications for duplex printing.

  note:

The instructions below are to configure the trays at the printer control panel. The trays can also be configured from the computer by accessing the embedded Web server. See Using the embedded Web server.
