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 print mode or media type setting in your print options before you send your job.

•Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) from the printer’s control panel.

•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 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 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.
