70 Handling Paper and Other Media

Caution: To avoid damaging the printer, make sure you do not select the Narrow setting when you print on thick media.

Note: When you print on posterboard, set the basket to catch printouts in front of the printer.

6. Press the Pause button to exit the menu.

If you’ve selected a non-standard platen gap, the following symbols appear in the corner of the display to remind you of the narrow or wide setting:

Widest

Wider

Wide

Narrow

When you switch media, don’t forget to change the setting back to

STANDARD.

If you’re printing on non-Epson media and not using the Epson driver, you may also need to create a paper configuration to optimize your results. See page 75 for more information.

Using the Paper Basket

The paper basket attaches to your printer and catches your printouts as they come out. The basket keeps your printouts from getting dirty or scratched. You can set it up either to catch the paper under the printer or in front of the printer. Follow the instructions on page 71 for the Epson Stylus Pro 7800 or page 72 for the 9800.
