Digital BW, The Print

I have an R2400 on the way, with the intent of primarily using it for
B&W.  I have a question about how the ABW driver and the paper
profiles relate.

If I have a custom profile done for a specific paper, does that also
handle "optimizing" the ABW printing as well?  Does the printer
require a special target or anything, or is all of this handled in the
driver as long as the profile is the standard type?

I feel like I understand the basic concept of how profiles work and
have no trouble using them, but I'm just not sure if there is
something special involved in setting up the printer for a specific paper.

Thank you -
Eric
