Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

If you are referring to the shape and size of scan content, adjust the size in your application or software when you configure the scan job.

 

Example - HP Smart - Mobile - iOS / iPadOS

HP_Smart_Mobile_Printer-Scan_Option_Sets_5HP_Smart_Mobile_Printer-Scan_Option_Sets_5

 

=======================================

 

If you are referring to the Tray and Paper - Paper Size / Type, change these settings in EWS or on the printer control panel after changing the paper or right after having opened and then closed the paper intake tray.

 

EWS > HP Document / How-to (Original Format)

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Find printer IP address

Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation

 

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

 

 

EWS – Tray and Paper Management

 

Original EWS

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper (Management)

Select / Adjust settings for Paper Size / Type

Model and EWS version Dependent:  Advanced section

Click Apply to save changes

 

OR

Example - (Alternate EWS format - select new OfficeJet Pro printers and at least some LaserJet printers)

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Section Paper > Trays > click on Tray to configure

And (in addition and as available)

Section Print > Default Print Options > Select default tray

 

Tray and Paper – Paper Size / Paper Type / Paper Weight

 

Paper Size, Type, and Weight loaded in the printer tray must be supported for use in that tray.

 

EWS (Embedded Web Server) provides access and control for Settings, including Tray and Paper.

 

Reminder

HP Smart Mobile might require that paper size / type is rechecked / adjusted before the content is opened for print.

 

Notes

Depending on the printer model, the Printer Control Panel touchscreen might provide access to Paper Size / Type settings immediately after the paper is (re)loaded into the appropriate printer intake tray.

 

New printer?  Touchscreen Printer Control Panel locked against making changes?  Try username "admin" and the PIN located on the sticker on the inside of the front door of the printer.

 

Trays

  • If the printer lacks a second tray, all paper / types are supported in the single available tray.
  • Printers that include a Photo Tray generally restrict the paper sizes and paper type supported in that tray.

 

Custom size?

If your paper is a custom size, look for "Custom" in the full list of paper sizes.

Remember >> Printers with more than one tray might only support custom paper sizes and types in one tray.

 

If EWS does not allow setting the paper size or size “Custom”,

If the printer includes a touchscreen display printer control panel,

Look for the setting for “Custom” in the Printer Control Panel after (re)loading the paper to be used

 

NOTE:  Size Custom is not available for all printers

 

What? 

Paper Size, Type, and Weight must be appropriate for the tray in which that paper is to be used.

 

Depending on the printer model, Tray 1 might be used for Custom media. 

In this scenario, Tray 2 might only support Plain paper, perhaps in limited sizes.

OR

If the "Custom Paper Tray" is Tray 2, then Tray 1 might only support Plain paper / limited sizes.

 

 

Printers that include a Photo Tray generally limit the size and type of paper that the Photo Tray supports.  Example:  Depending on the printer model, the Photo Tray might support only 4x6 inch photo paper.
