Default printing media

[MyPrinter1]

I am trying to photocopy a document but my printer will not proceed because it is preently set for printing on a DL envelope and does not photocopy onto such print media.  Obviously I need to reset my printer to A4 paper, as loaded in my cassette, but I have not been able to change it over to A4 paper.

Suggestions much appreciated.

Places to check / set / adjust Copy settings:

User Guide - Chapter 2, starting on Page 8 - Load Media

Note the step to change the print settings on the printer control panel.

Basic Copy Instructions here:

•  Copying Documents or Photos
•  How to Copy

and

If the printer is on the network, use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to set / adjust the Copy Defaults.

Example:

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Settings > Copy Settings > Default Settings

Adjust as desired, Click Apply to save changes

EWS_Settings_Copy_1 

NOTE to those reading:  Some Officejet printers separate the Paper Preferences out from the other Copy Default settings.  For those printers (example, Officejet Pro 8740), set / adjust the Paper / Tray setup:  Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper Management
