Printer setting
The Paper Type setting identifies the type of print material
installed in each paper source. Use this setting to:
• Optimize print quality for the specified print material.
• Select paper sources through your software application by
selecting only a type and size. A source selection is
unnecessary.
• Automatically link paper sources. Any sources containing the
same type and size of print material are automatically linked
by the printer if you have set the Paper Size and the Paper
Type to the correct settings for the paper sources.
Note: Only installed paper sources are displayed.
The Paper Type defaults for each tray are as follows:
• Tray 1 – Custom Type 6
• Tray 2 – Plain Paper
• Tray 3 – Custom Type 3
• Tray 4 – Custom Type 4
Note: Before loading print material in any paper source, make
sure you set the Paper Size for tray 1 and the Paper Type for all
paper sources. Also, select the paper size and the type from
your software application for the print material you are loading.
Custom Type x (where x represents 1 through 6) refers to
special types of print materials. If a user-defined name is
available, it is displayed instead of Custom Type x. The name is
truncated to 14 characters.
If you are using different print material in the paper sources,
each source with a different print material must have the Paper
Size or Paper Type set to a unique value to disable the
automatic tray linking feature. Otherwise, if a paper source
becomes empty, the printer selects print material from another
source since the printer sees the trays as linked.
