The printer and printer driver offer print settings optimized for various paper characteristics.

Note

•For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide. (→P.108)

•The paper type setting in the printer driver and related software (as well as on the Control Panel) is updated when you install the Media Conguration Tool from the User Software CD-ROM or if you change paper information by using the Media Conguration Tool . For information about the Media Conguration Tool, see the Media Conguration Tool Guide (Windows) or Media Conguration Tool Guide (Macintosh).

•An error message is displayed on the printer Control Panel if the paper type as specied in the printer driver does not match the type specied 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 cannot be selected, try specifying glossy paper or proong paper as a special paper (Special 1 to Special 5, in this order). BK ( Black Ink) is used as the black ink. Try specifying other types of paper as Special 6 to Special 10. MBK ( Matte Black Ink) is used as the black ink. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors but may also cause colors to run together.

For instructions on specifying the paper type before printing, refer to the following topics.
