Mr. Segal:
I am writing to ask about your experience with a feature in the
Canon Media Configuration Tool that is designed to help in
choosing a media type.
In the plain paper, coated paper, photo/art/proofing paper
matte, and photo/art/proofing paper glossy paper categories
an assist button is enabled which asks for either the gsm
weight of the paper, or its thickness. Once answered, the
tool then selects one of the paper types in that paper category.
Have you used this feature and do you think it is helpful?
I haven't used it, but I would assume that because they provide for it, it would be useful. The weight and thickness of the paper determines certain technical aspects of printer operations, hence specifying these factors would help to select the Media Type that best corresponds with the particular paper you are characterizing.
