For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (→P.98)

The types of paper indicated in the printer driver and related software (as well as on the Control
Panel) are updated when you install the Media Conguration Tool from the User Software CD-ROM
or if you change paper information by using the Media Conguration Tool. For information about the
Media Conguration Tool, see the Media Conguration Tool (Windows) or Media Conguration Tool
(Macintosh).

An error message may be displayed on the printer Control Panel if the type of paper as specied in
the printer driver does not match the type specied on the printer. Although you can print under these
conditions, the printing results may not be suitable.
If the paper type is not listed for selection
If the type of paper loaded is not listed among the options for selection, try printing on Special 1, Special 2,
and so on. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors but may also cause colors to
run together.
