Changing the Type of Paper

Follow these steps to change the type of paper specified on the printer after you have loaded paper.
If you will continue using this type of paper later, selecting Keep Paper Type > On will save the time and effort of con-
figuring the media type setting when you load the paper again. The current media type settings before you select On
will be automatically selected at that time. (See "Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly.")

→P.539

Important

For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type of paper. Be sure to
select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.

Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of printed images may vary
depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not as you expected, adjust the paper feed
amount.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.")
