78Handling Paper and Other Media

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 83 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.

Catching Printouts in Front of the Printer

Follow the steps below to set up the basket in front of the printer. Use this method for paper more than 19 mil (0.5 mm) thick or any prints that are 62 inches (157 cm) or longer (for the Pro 9900) or 36 inches (91 cm) or longer (for the Pro 7900).

1.If you are using the paper guides, make sure they are in front of the basket, as shown below.
