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 continue using the same type of paper and set Keep media type to Enable , when you load paper, the
media type selected before Enable was set is selected automatically, eliminating the need to set the media
type. (See " Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly .")
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 Feed Amount .")
• Rolls and sheets have different printing areas, and sheets having a larger bottom margin than rolls. •
(See " Print Area .")
