Lexmark 1200 Paper Type, Temperature for printing paper, Paper from the proper source, Cassette

Paper Menu (continued)

Menu item	Values
Paper Type	The Paper Type setting lets you specify the type of media installed in each source. The printer
(continued)	uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the media you specified.
	For example, if you set Tray 1 Type to Transparency, the printer heats the fuser to a higher
	temperature and slows printing to produce the best transparency possible. If you then change
	Tray 1 Type to Plain Paper, there is a slight delay while the printer cools to the appropriate
	temperature for printing paper.
	You can also select paper sources from your software application simply by specifying a paper
	type and size. Or, use the MarkVision utility to define names for up to four Custom Types
	identifying special print materials. For example, if you are using names for three different
	letterheads for different individuals in your workplace, you can define a custom type for each
	individual’s letterhead. If you’re not sure which source contains the letterhead you need, you
	can specify the Custom Type from the software application or driver, and the printer will feed
	paper from the proper source.
	The correct Paper Type setting, along with the Paper Size setting, is also critical for the
	automatic tray linking function. If you have the same paper loaded in two paper sources and
	want to enable tray linking, set the Paper Type for each source to the same value. When one
	tray is empty, the printer then automatically feeds paper from the other tray.
	A simple way to disable tray linking is to set Tray 1 Type to Custom Type 1, Tray 2 Type to
	Custom Type 2, and Tray 3 Type to Custom Type 3 (if those three custom types are not
	predefined for other special media).
	The MP Feeder Type menu item is displayed only if the Configure MP menu item is set to
	Cassette.
Custom Types	Custom Type x (where x represents a custom type from 1 to 4)
	Paper*
	Card Stock
	Transparency
	Labels
	The Custom Type x setting specifies the print material for each of the Custom Types (1–4)
	defined in the Paper Type menu item. If a user-defined name is available, the name is
	displayed instead of Custom Type x.
Output Bin	Top Output*
	Rear Output
	Select Top Output to collate jobs face down. Select Rear Output to create a straight paper
	path from the multipurpose feeder to the rear output bin. This may be useful when printing on
	heavier media, such as transparencies, envelopes, labels, or card stock. Printed pages stack
	face up and uncollated in the rear output bin.
	If you select Rear Output, make sure you’ve attached the rear output bin. Refer to the Setup
	Guide for installation instructions.
