Media Type The printer and printer driver offer print settings optimized for various paper characteristics. Note• For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide.(See " Types of Paper →P.768 ") • The types of paper indicated in the printer driver and related software (as well as on the Control Panel ) are updated when you install the Media Configuration Tool from the User Software CD-ROM or if you change paper information by using the Media Configuration Tool. For information about the Media Configuration Tool, see the Media Configuration Tool →P.440 (Windows) or Media Configuration Tool→P.671 (Macintosh). • An error message may be displayed on the printer Control Panel if the type of paper as specified in the print- er driver does not match the type specified on the printer. Although you can print under these conditions, the printing results may not be suitable. If the paper type is not listed for selection If the type of paper loaded cannot be selected, try specifying glossy paper or proofing paper as a special paper (Special 1 to Special 5, in this order). BK ( Black Ink ) is used as the black ink. Try specifying other types of paper as Special 6 to Spe- cial 10. MBK ( Matte Black Ink ) is used as the black ink. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors but may also cause colors to run together. Furthermore, Register Custom Paper can also be performed using the Media Configuration Tool. For information about the Media Configuration Tool, see Media Configuration Tool →P.440 (Windows) or Media Con- figuration Tool →P.671 (Macintosh).
