type , when you load paper, the media type selected before Use current media type was set is selected
automatically, eliminating the need to set the media type. (See " Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly .")
Note
• This printer has the ability to estimate the media type by the data read by the sensor when the paper •
is set. If you continue to use this feature, you will learn the data that you read and the accuracy of the
media type estimation. If you continue to use multiple media types, this feature will reduce the need to
select the media type each time you set the paper. (See "
Paper-related settings .")
Important
• For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type •
of paper. Be sure to select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
• Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of •
printed images may vary depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are
not as you expected, adjust the paper feed amount.
(See " Adjusting Feed Amount .")
• Rolls and sheets have different printing areas, and sheets having a larger bottom margin than rolls. •
