5.3.5 How do I… Set the Media Type?
When making color copies, it is important to tell the system what kind of paper you have in the
printer. Already during scanning, your system will optimize processing for optimal color
matching in relation to the media type the image will be printed on. Processing for glossy paper
is different than processing for coated paper. Your Media Type setting is not used with B&W
Copying.
We described how to create Media Profiles in the sections on Configuration and Setup - Media
Profiles - Color Printer Setup. A Media Profiles you created during setup will be applied when
you set the corresponding Media type.
NOTE: If your system does not already have a Media Profile for the media in your printer, then
you must create a new Media Profile.
Instructions on creating new Media Profiles are described in the section on Media Profiles -
Color Printer Setup. For convenience, we have repeated these instructions below at end of this
section - How do I… Set the Media Type?
Your Media Type setting is applied when you press the Color Copy button.
