= SUMMARY =

To print on legal-size paper using a paper tray on any Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet, do the following:


 * 1) Adjust the page margins under Format Division Margins. Set the page length to 14 inches in Word versions 4.00 and 5.00, and to 13.3 inches in earlier versions.
 * 2) Turn the printer off.
 * 3) Take the letter tray out.
 * 4) Put the legal tray in.
 * 5) Turn the printer on.

If you are working with an HP LaserJet 500+, make sure you have an official legal tray. You cannot take the bar out of the letter tray so that legal-size paper will fit; the printer reads the tray and knows what type of tray is in the bin.

In Word version 5.00, enter the appropriate margin settings in Format Division Margins and then specify the bin in the Print Options “paper feed:” field.

In Word 5.50, enter the appropriate margin settings in the Format Margins dialog box and then specify the bin in the File Printer Setup Paper Feed option.
