Use paper output options
Print to the standard output bin
The standard output bin collects paper face-down, in the correct order. Use this bin for most print jobs,
including transparencies. To use the standard output bin, be sure that the rear output bin is closed. To
avoid jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
The standard output bin holds up to 250 sheets of 75 g/m
Print to the rear output bin
The product always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper that is printed to this bin will exit
face-up, with the last page on top (reverse order).
The rear output bin holds up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest path. Opening the rear output bin

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single print driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
40Chapter 4 PrintENWW
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.
