This parameter sets the default paper type to be used for print job. This
printer 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
will be displayed when the machine tries to print the job
and the machine will stop. In addition, if a paper source
has not been selected through the application, the
machine will automatically select default print settings for
the paper type and size. See “Setting a Paper Drawer for
Auto Paper Selection/Auto Drawer Switching,” in the
Reference Guide.
