Handling Paper and Other Media | 31
Always test samples of paper stock in the printer before purchasing large
quantities or printing large jobs. When you use non-Epson paper or other
media, you may need to adjust various settings or create special paper
configurations. (See page 45 for more information.)
Guidelines for Using Epson Media
Follow these guidelines, as well as those included in your paper package,
when printing on Epson paper and other media:
• Avoid touching the printable surface with your 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 driver
software before you send your job. See page 53 (Macintosh) or page 66
(Windows) for instructions.
• Always select the correct paper source in both the printer driver software
and on the printer’s control panel. See page 50 (Macintosh) or page 68
(Windows) for instructions on selecting the paper source in your printer
software.
• Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it flat in a cool,
dry place to maintain quality. Avoid storing your printouts where they
will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.
