Type is
The Type is: drop-down menu shows all of the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 3800 supports.
When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually
Plain.
No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can
be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the
product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the
information an updated list of media types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled,
then the driver looks for custom media types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional
communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the
driver.
The following standard types appear in the list:
●

The default setting is Unspecified, and the program selects the media type. If you select a different
setting, make sure that the correct media type is loaded in the tray that you selected in the Source is:
setting. For more information about media types, see the
Media attributes section of this STR.
When you change the print-driver setting to a media type that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media type or select another tray.
