Paper Menu (continued) Menu item PAPER TYPE (continued) PAPER WEIGHT Values The Paper Type setting lets you specify the type of media installed in each source. The printer uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the media you specified. For example, if you set Tray 1 Type to Transparency, the printer heats the fuser to a higher temperature and slows printing to produce the best transparency possible. If you change Tray 1 Type to Plain Paper, there is a slight delay while the printer cools to the appropriate temperature for printing paper. You can also select paper sources from your software application simply by specifying a paper type and size. Or, use the MarkVision utility to define names for up to four Custom Types identifying special print materials. For example, if you are using names for three different letterheads for different individuals in your workplace, you can define a custom type for each individual's letterhead. If you're not sure which source contains the letterhead you need, you can specify the Custom Type from the software application or driver, and the printer will feed paper from the proper source. The correct Paper Type setting, along with the Paper Size setting, is also critical for the automatic tray linking function. If you have the same paper loaded in two paper sources and want to enable tray linking, set the Paper Type for each source to the same value. When one tray is empty, the printer then automatically feeds paper from the other tray. A simple way to disable tray linking is to set Tray 1 Type to Custom Type 1, Tray 2 Type to Custom Type 2, and Tray 3 Type to Custom Type 3 (if those three custom types are not predefined for other special media).

PAPER TYPE

(continued)

The Paper Type setting lets you specify the type of media installed in each source. The printer

uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the media you specified.

For example, if you set Tray 1 Type to Transparency, the printer heats the fuser to a higher

temperature and slows printing to produce the best transparency possible. If you change

Tray 1 Type to Plain Paper, there is a slight delay while the printer cools to the appropriate

temperature for printing paper.

You can also select paper sources from your software application simply by specifying a paper

type and size. Or, use the MarkVision utility to define names for up to four Custom Types

identifying special print materials. For example, if you are using names for three different

letterheads for different individuals in your workplace, you can define a custom type for each

individual’s letterhead. If you’re not sure which source contains the letterhead you need, you

can specify the Custom Type from the software application or driver, and the printer will feed

paper from the proper source.

The correct Paper Type setting, along with the Paper Size setting, is also critical for the

automatic tray linking function. If you have the same paper loaded in two paper sources and

want to enable tray linking, set the Paper Type for each source to the same value. When one

tray is empty, the printer then automatically feeds paper from the other tray.

A simple way to disable tray linking is to set Tray 1 Type to Custom Type 1, Tray 2 Type to

Custom Type 2, and Tray 3 Type to Custom Type 3 (if those three custom types are not

predefined for other special media).

The MP Feeder Type menu item is displayed only if the Configure MP menu item is set to

Cassette.
