You should always select the media type in the front-panel menu that matches the
media type you have loaded in the printer, with one exception:

Productivity mode, you can select either Coated paper or Heavy coated paper
in the front-panel menu selection.
– For Faster Printing
Select Productivity print mode with Coated paper media type in the front
panel for faster printing. This mode is not recommended for images
containing gradient fills.

front panel for better print quality.
NOTE In most cases, settings in your application software or printer driver override
any settings you make on the front panel of the printer.
