HP M401

Paper type
The Paper type drop-down menu shows the first few paper types that the product supports and an
entry for More. Clicking More opens the Type Is dialog box. Click the + next to Type Is and its
subcategories to view all of the paper types that the product supports. For detailed information on the
supported paper types, see the user guide.
The default setting is Unspecified.
No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Use HP Web
Jetadmin to add custom paper types. Custom types can be added only by using bidirectional
communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If
bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional
communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from
a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are
available through the driver.
NOTE: To download a current version of HP Web Jetamin and for the latest list of supported host
systems, go to the following Web site:

If you select a setting other than the default, make sure that the correct paper type is loaded in the tray
that you selected in the Paper source setting.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper type that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper type or select another tray.
Special pages
To specify special pages to be used, click the Settings button under the Special Pages list.
Covers
To use specific cover settings, click the Covers item in the Special Pages list.
Use the Covers options to include a blank or preprinted cover on a document, or to include a front/
back cover from a source tray that is different from the one used for the remainder of the document.
The following are the Covers options:
●
Add a blank or preprinted cover: Select which cover is customized: Front, Back, or Both.
●
Paper source: The Paper source setting specifies the source tray to use for adding a front
and/or back cover to the document. The list of source trays depends on the accessories that are
installed. Any optional trays that are installed through the Device Settings tab also appear here.
●
Paper type: The Paper type setting specifies the paper size to use for front and/or back
covers. Changes made to the Paper type setting here override any previous Paper type
settings using the same paper source.
NOTE: The same size of paper will be used for the entire print job.
When you change the type and source of the paper and covers, the settings remain configured until
you close the software program.
