Setting Paper Configurations
When you use non-EPSON paper or other media, you may need to register
the paper’s thickness, drying time and suction setting.
When you’re using a paper stock or other printing material for the first time,
always test it on a small print job. If the ink smears or printing is blurred,
you need to register the paper’s drying time, and thickness (or suction
setting). Registration is not necessary when you use EPSON media. You can
register up to four types of paper or other media. Then you can select the
registered values whenever you print on that particular stock.
Drying time determines how long the printer will pause between pages or
before cutting.
