1Use the Flip Horizontal option to reverse your image before you print it—especially if it includes text—so the image will appear correctly when it’s transferred.

2For better results, load EPSON Photo Quality Glossy Film one sheet at a time. This also allows you to use a smaller top margin.

Additional Media Loading Guidelines

Caution:

Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with your special media; they may damage the printer.

If the corresponding Media Type option for your paper is not shown in the Media Type list, change the Print Quality setting in the More Settings dialog box, select Automatic as the Mode setting, or change the predefined setting in the Custom Settings list in the printer settings dialog box. Then select the correct media type.

Some special media have a cut corner that you need to position correctly; follow any instructions in the package. Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.

cut corner

If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing.

Load the printable side of the media face up in the sheet feeder.
