Printing Tips for EPSON Media
Follow these tips for using and storing printing materials:
•
Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper or other media with
bare hands. Fingerprints may affect print quality. Handle media by the
edges or use cotton gloves.
•
Always choose the correct Media Type setting in your printer software
before you send your job. See page 3-7 (Macintosh) or page 4-4
(Windows) for instructions.
•
Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer
software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 3-2 (Macintosh) or
page 4-6 (Windows) for instructions on selecting the paper source in
your printer software.
•
Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry
place to avoid a decline in quality. Avoid storing media or printouts
where they will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct
sunlight.
Using Roll Paper
The printer comes with two 2-inch spindles, so you can have two types or
sizes of roll paper available for printing. You can use any roll paper with a
2-inch core, up to 44 inches wide. With the optional high-tension 3-inch
spindle, you can also use roll paper that has a 3-inch core (one roll at a time).
Manually switching from one paper roll to another is a simple process.
For instructions on attaching roll paper to a spindle and loading it in the
printer, see page 1-4 through 1-9. This section covers the following:
