    Choosing the right paper for your particular printing application will give you the best printing results. Media Type
    The printer and printer driver offer print settings optimized for various paper characteristics. Note
    • For information on the types of paper the printer supports, refer to the Paper Reference Guide.(See " Types of
    Paper →P.617
    ")
    • The 
    
    types  of  paper  indicated  in  the  printer  driver  and  related  software  (as  well  as  on  the  Control  Panel  )  are
    updated  when  you  install  the  Media  Configuration  Tool  from  the  User  Software  CD-ROM  or  if  you  change paper  information  by  using  the  Media  Configuration  Tool.  For  information  about  the  Media  Configuration
    Tool,  see  the  Media  Configuration  Tool →P.406

    • An 
    error message may be displayed on the printer Control Panel if the type of paper as specified in the print-
    er driver does not match the type specified on the printer. Although you can print under these conditions, the printing results may not be suitable. If the paper type is not listed for selection
    If the type of paper loaded cannot be selected, try specifying glossy paper or proofing paper as a special paper (Special 1 to
    Special 5, in this order). BK ( Black Ink ) is used as the black ink. Try specifying other types of paper as Special 6 to Spe-
    cial 10. MBK ( Matte Black Ink ) is used as the black ink. Note that higher numbers in this setting enable more vivid colors
    but may also cause colors to run together.
