Registering Media
Settings to the Printer
You can register media settings in one of the following
ways.
Using the general-purpose media settings that are
pre-registered in the printer
This printer has three pre-registered media types
according to the paper weight of the media. When you
select a media type, the printer prints using the
general-purpose media settings appropriate for each
paper weight.
After loading the media, select the media type
appropriate for the loaded media in Media Settings.
