Paper Types

Use the Paper Types pane to configure the standard print modes that correspond to the various

paper types.

Figure 2-28 System Settings folder – Paper Types pane

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 re-mapped for workflow reasons. A print mode is a special setting

that controls the print speed and the fuser temperature of the product. 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 media types.

NOTE: Not all of the paper types listed in the driver can be adjusted on the Paper Types screen.
