Media type
The media type determines the MFP’s fuser temperature, the length of time the media
spends in the fuser, and other factors. For a list of recommended media and their
associated media types, see “Recommended media” on page 172.
Every time you close tray 2, tray 3, or the 2,000-sheet side input tray (tray 4), you have the
opportunity to set the media type for that tray. Set the media type for tray 1 by using the
control-panel menus. For more information, see “To set or change a media type for any
tray” on page 30 and “Supported types of media” on page 172.
When you print a document, you must also set the media type in the printer driver.
To set the media type in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, and
Windows NT 4.0
1 Open the printer driver (see “Changing the settings for a print job using a computer” on
page 94).
