2.5 Paper Type
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being
used.
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operator panel will cause the
printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type
of paper.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray. Not
only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select
customized paper types. See Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.9 Creating
Custom Paper Type on page 3-81.
