Handling Paper and Other Media

Optimizing the Settings for Your Paper

When you choose a media type in your Epson printer software, the driver
automatically determines the best settings for your paper. However, you may
want to fine-tune how the printer handles various media—especially if you
use non-Epson paper or a paper not supported by the driver. Use the paper
configuration settings described below. If you’re printing on unusually thick
or thin paper, you may also need to adjust the platen gap; if so, you should
do that first.

You can create a special configuration, or group of settings, for each paper
type (up to ten types) and select the desired configuration whenever you
print on a particular stock.
