QDefault Paper Type

Plain Paper*, Transparency, Heavy Paper, Recycled Paper, Color Paper, Letterhead, Tracing Paper, Bond Paper, Labels, Pre-punched, and Tab Paper

This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.

IMPORTANT

If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper type and size. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the Reference Guide.)

NOTE
