(Appendix-1) The type of media that you can use for printing depends on the type of black ink in use. For the Media Type you must select the setting for the media actually loaded in the printer. If the Media Type selection is not the same as the media actually loaded in the printer, the print results will not be correct. Click the Media Detailed Settings button to open the Media Detailed Settings dialog box. In this box you can perform the settings for the ink drying time and other items. For more details, please refer to Media Detailed Settings (p.3-7) 2. Use this setting to set the Ink Type. Ink Type presents the following items for selection. Ink Type Photo Black (Bk) Matte Black (MBk) Setting Details This selection is best suited for printing photographs due to its superior color reproduction capabilities. Due to its high density, this ink is ideal for printing line drawings, or any type of document created with a CAD system. Important The type of media that can be selected for printing depends on the ink type specification. If the black ink selected for Ink Type does not match the ink type of the tank actually loaded in the printer, the printer will issue an alert on the printer operation panel. You must then decide whether to execute or stop the print job. To achieve the best possible results in printing, stop the print job when the message appears on the operation panel, and then perform the settings so the Ink Type selection and type of black ink tank in the printer are the same. 3. Click the OK button. Color Matching and Brightness Settings Adjust Color Matching and Brightness to achieve the best color tones in printed drawings. 1.
