Selecting the paper type using the printer driver

This section explains how to select the paper types using the printer driver.

The paper types that can be selected when printing documents are set using the printer driver. The types of the paper loaded in the paper trays are indicated on the printer's control panel. You can check the selected paper type is loaded in which tray.

However, the paper type setting available in the printing preference dialog box may be different from the type indicated on the printer's control panel. Before selecting the paper type using the printer driver, check the type of the paper loaded in each tray.

To change the paper size, type, and color specified in the printer driver, change the settings using the example procedure shown under "Configuring the Options".

If you want to select [Plain] in the printer driver, select [Do not Display] in the [Paper Type] list. In this case, the paper type will not be displayed on the printer's control panel.
For the procedure to change the paper type settings, see “Paper Settings”, Network and System Settings Guide.
