Handling Paper and Other Media 69

Guidelines for Using EPSON Papers

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 software before you send your job. See page 96 (Macintosh) or page 112 (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 90 (Macintosh) or page 114 (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 maintain quality. Avoid storing your printouts where they will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.

Using Roll Paper

You can use any roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core, up to 44 inches wide (Stylus Pro 9600) or 24 inches wide (Stylus Pro 7600). Manually switching from one paper roll to another is a simple process.
