Selecting Media by Type

If you want to select media for your job by type of media rather than by the input tray (source), you must first configure a printer tray for the media type you are using, and then specify that media type in the printer driver.

Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify in your driver to print on plain paper, the printer will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from a tray that has plain paper loaded and that has been configured for plain paper on the printer control panel.
