							Changing the Type of Paper
Follow these steps to change the type of paper specified on the printer after you have loaded paper.
If you will continue using this type of paper later, selecting  Keep Paper Type > On  will save the time and effort of config-
uring the media type setting when you load the paper again. The current media type settings before you select  On will be
automatically selected at that time.   (See "Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly .")
→P.785
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. (See " Adjusting the Feed Amount .")

							Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls
When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, if the Cutter touches printed surfaces that are still wet, it may
damage the paper or cause rough cut edges. Also, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during ejection, soiling it. You can prevent problems by adjusting the drying time after printing before the paper is cut.
