Verify that the options you installed are listed on
the menu settings page under "Installed Fea-
tures."
If an option you installed does not appear on the
page, turn the printer off, unplug the power cord,
and reinstall the option.

If you attached a serial cable, verify that the
printer serial settings listed on the menu settings
page are appropriate for your system.
Refer to the User's Guide for more information about
the Serial Menu and changing these settings.
It is important to verify that the Paper Type settings are
accurate for all the installed paper sources. Refer to the
menu settings page you printed. The Paper Type is listed
for each of the installed paper sources.
Paper Type refers to the type of media loaded in the
sources: plain paper, letterhead, envelopes, transparen-
cies, card stock, a custom media you define, and so on.
Since different sources can hold different media, you can
customize the Paper Type setting for each source.
The printer uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print
quality for the media you specified. For example, selecting
the Transparency paper type causes the printer to heat the
fuser to a higher temperature and slows printing to pro-
duce the best transparency possible. The Paper Type set-
ting also affects the printer's automatic source selection
capability, as well as the tray linking function. For these
reasons, it's important to change the setting each time you
change the media in the tray or feeder.
Refer to the User's Guide for more detailed information
about the paper types supported by each paper source, as
well as ways to use the Paper Type setting to make print-
ing more efficient in your work environment.
