Change the print driver to match the media type and size
Selecting media by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper,
and overhead transparencies. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always
print by Type for special print media, such as labels or transparencies. Always print by Size for
envelopes.
