Paper Types
Use the Paper Types screen to map the print modes that the printer will use for each paper type.
Figure 2-22 HP ToolboxFX Paper Types screen
The purpose of this menu is to specify the engine print mode for paper types that are non-specific. Also,
the Plain paper type can be remapped for workflow reasons. A print mode is a special setting that
controls the print speed and the fuser temperature of the printer. The product speed and fuser
temperature are adjusted to match the print mode selected, which can result in better print quality when
printing on certain paper types.
WARNING! Printing on heavier paper, such as glossy or photo paper, without setting the correct print
mode can cause damage to the printer.
NOTE: Not all of the paper types listed in the driver can be adjusted on the Paper Types screen.
