Adjusting Media Settings
Before printing, make sure that the printer’s MEDIA TYPE settings match the paper type you are using. To do so, access
the MEDIA TYPE category in the Level 1 Menu via the printer’s front panel (see page 10 of the Set-Up Guide). The
MEDIA TYPE category lets you select the media type for each tray and the front feeder. Refer to “Printer Control” in the
online User’s Guide (located on CD-ROM) for information on the Level 1 Menu and using the MEDIA TYPE category.
IMPORTANT: Adjusting media settings in your application (i.e., MS Word) overrides the
media settings in both your computer’s print driver and the printer’s front panel. Also,
adjusting media settings in your computer’s print driver overrides the front panel media
settings.
