56Handling Paper and Other Media

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 84 (Mac OS X) or page 101 (Windows) for instructions.

Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer driver software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 81

(Mac OS X) or page 107 (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.

Store sheet media on a flat surface.

Using Roll Paper

You can use roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core, up to 24 inches wide (7800) or 44 inches wide (9800). Manually switching rolls is a simple process. Check the Epson Pro Graphics web site (http://prographics.epson.com) or your authorized Epson dealer for available media.
