Default Media Settings
The default printer setting for print media is Medium (20
to 24 lb.).
Individual Print Jobs
If you are using special media for an individual print job,
make the temporary media setting changes in the driver
as you print the job from your application.
Printer Defaults
If you consistently use another type of media in Tray 1 or
the Multi-Purpose (MP) Tray, change the media settings
in the printer menu (see page 25). If you do not, the print
quality will be reduced and you could damage the printer.
