Selecting non-default tray when printing from MS Word or any other application HP Laserjet MFP 880

[AO_ITO]

Hi,

We have HP Laserjet MFP 880 with the additional tray. Thus, we have Tray1, Tray2, Tray 3 and Tray 4. This is what I've read in the printer specification on how we can use the trays:

• Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one tray if the other tray is empty
• Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one of the trays first
• Be able to choose from plain paper and another paper type that you use occasionally

My question is:

Let's say that we set Tray 4 as the default tray.

We have a situation that we want to print the same Word document from two different trays in the single print job. In MS Word you have the opportunity to select for each document section (let's say page) the specific tray. This is useful if you want to print, e.g. the first page of document on Letterhead which is in Tray 3 and others on plain as from default tray (Tray 4)

So, I don't want to use Printer Preferences, because if I do so, then the whole document will be printed from the selected tray.

I want to use Page Setup in MS Word instead, where can I set up for each page from which tray to be printed.

Could you please confirm if it can be done in HP Laserjet MFP 880?

If yes, How?

Thanks.

The HP Universal Print Driver also offers the ability of selecting different trays for different pages of a document. The HP should support any Microsoft printer command as well.

Hi mate,

Thank you for your reply.

But do you have an idea if HP MFP 880 supports tray selection under page setup > paper source as shown in the image.

Thanks
