Changing the Type of Paper
Follow these steps to change the type of paper specified on the printer after you have loaded paper.
If you will continue using this type of paper later, selecting Keep Paper Type > On will save the time and effort of
configuring the media type setting when you load the paper again. The current media type settings before you se-
lect On will be automatically selected at that time. (See "Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly.")
• For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type of paper. Be sure
to select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
Important
• Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of printed images may
vary depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not as you expected, adjust the paper
feed amount.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.")
