HP 8000 s manual Configuring Media Type and Size

Configuring Media Type and Size

Configure the media type (such as plain paper, letterhead, or transparencies) for each of the input trays. If the media type and size have been correctly configured for the input trays, the printer will print based on the type and size of media and will automatically use the correct input tray. Configuring the media type is beneficial for several reasons:

zSetting the media type prevents printing on the wrong, possibly expensive, media.

zThe printer will automatically adjust its print speed to accommodate special media (such as card stock, labels, and transparencies). These adjustments will give the best quality output, saving time and resources.

Note	If the media type is not set properly, the printer might not print on the
	correct media or at the correct speed for the media type, which can
	result in poor print quality.
