When changing the type of paper after the paper has been advanced, specify the type of paper as follows. Important
• For 
best  printing  results,  the  printer  fine-tunes  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  ex- pected, adjust the paper feed amount and Printhead height.
 (See "Adjusting the Feed Amount .") →P.676
 (See " Troubleshooting Paper Abrasion and Blurry Images (Head Height) .") →P.675
