set the paper type

The default paper type is Automatic. The HP PSC will, in most cases, detect the paper type and automatically adjust the settings. If you want to use a different type of paper, such as photo paper, transparency film, Iron-On T-shirt transfers, or brochures, simply load that paper in the paper tray. You can then change the paper type settings to ensure the best print quality.

HP recommends paper type settings according to the type of paper you’re using.

This setting refers to copy or photo card options only. If you want to set the paper type for printing from a computer, set the properties in the Print dialog box of the software.
