This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine
has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.
IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that does not have a printer driver for the machine
(MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer
matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this
setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to
print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been
selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default
print settings for the paper type and size. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings,"
in the Reference Guide.)
NOTE
Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be
specified as Plain Paper or Heavy Paper.
