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 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.
