No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can
be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the
printer when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, an updated list of
media types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, the driver looks for custom media
types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those.
Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver.
The default setting is Unspecified, and the program selects the media type. Before selecting a different
setting, make sure that the correct media type is loaded in the tray that is specified in the Paper
source: setting.
If the print-driver setting is changed to a media type that is not currently loaded in the printer, a control-
panel message prompts you to load the media type or select another tray.
Caution symbols may appear next to some paper types in the selection list. This means that there is
another setting that may be in conflict with the selected paper size. For example, if “print on both sides”
is selected in the Finishing tab, then the Transparency paper type will have a Caution sign next to it
because transparencies can only be printed on a single side.
