Epson 1500 - Manual (Page 48)

Choosing Paper
For best results, use paper made especially for laser printers.
Paper made for plain-paper copiers is also a good choice. Paper
should be of good quality and relatively smooth. Since the
printer is sensitive to moisture, keep it dry.
You can use the printer’s paper bin to feed most types of 60 to
90 g/m
2
(16 to 24 lb) letter-size paper. If you feed paper or other
media one sheet at a time, you can use up to 157 g/m
2
(42 lb)
paper.
You may use colored paper but not paper to which a colored
coating has been added.
Note:
The quality of any particular brand or type of paper my be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, so Epson cannot guarantee any
particular one. Also, some inks or dyes may smear or come off when
subjected to the high temperature of the fuser. Always test samples of
paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
Selecting a paper size
If you use a paper size other than letter and your software does
not allow you to select a new size, see the PAGE SIZE option in
Chapter 4, “SelecType.”
