Registering a New Paper Type

You can adjust the secondary transfer voltage (voltage when the image is transferred onto the paper) and the print position according to the characteristics of the loaded paper, and register the settings as a new paper type (custom paper type).
If print quality degradation occurs with a certain paper type, you may be able to solve the problem by using a custom paper type that has been adjusted according to the characteristics of the paper.
