Note

When you set the paper size and media type levers, you should also use the paper size and media type cards to identify the paper loaded in the tray. The cards let users know what’s in the printer at a glance, and prevent anyone from inadvertently changing the lever settings. See Chapter 2 for more information about using the cards.

Setting Up the Printer 1-11

11.Push in the paper tray until it meets resistance. The Paper Out light goes out.

12.Set the paper size and media type levers for the paper you’re using. For letter-size Archival Matte Paper, set the levers as follows:

Paper size: LTR

Media type: Archival Matte Paper

The levers don’t directly affect print quality, but they allow your software to verify that the print settings for a job are correct for the paper you’re using. For more information about the levers, see Chapter 2.
