Configuring Media Type and Size
Configuring the media type is beneficial for several reasons:
z
Configuring the media type prevents printing on the wrong (and
possibly more expensive) media.
z
If a user changes the type of media in an input tray, other users
can still print on the correct media.
z
The printer will automatically adjust its print speed to
accommodate special media (such as card stock, labels, and
transparencies). These adjustments will give the highest quality
output, saving time and resources.
Note
If the media type is not set correctly, then 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.
