The PAPER TYPE setting lets you specify the type of print material installed in each paper
source. This setting is used by the printer in the following ways:
• Enables the printer to optimize print quality for the specified print material.
• Enables you to select paper sources through your software application by selecting only a
type and size. A source selection is unnecessary.
• Enables the printer to automatically link paper sources. Any sources that contain the same
type and size of print material are automatically linked by the printer if you have set the
PAPER SIZE and the PAPER TYPE to the correct settings for the paper sources. See “Tray
Linking” on page 135 for more information.
Select
Manual Pap Type when manually feeding a single sheet of print material through the
multipurpose feeder.
Select
Manual Env Type when manually feeding an envelope through the multipurpose feeder.
Note: Before loading print material in any paper source, make sure you select the
PAPER SIZE, PAPER TYPE, PAPER TEXTURE, PAPER WEIGHT, and PAPER LENGTH from
the operator panel for the paper source. Also, select the paper size and the type from your
application for the print material you are loading.
Custom Type 1 through 6 refers to special types of print materials. You can change the names
through a utility, such as MarkVision. For more information on setting the Custom Type
names, see
CUSTOM TYPES on page 49.
If you are using different print material in the paper sources, each source with a different print
material must have the
PAPER SIZE and PAPER TYPE set to a unique value to disable the
automatic tray linking feature. Otherwise, if a paper source becomes empty, the printer selects
print material from another source since the printer sees the trays as linked. This might cause
a one-page letter to print on a sheet of labels or on a transparency. See “Tray Linking” on
page 135 for more information.
