Guidelines for Using EPSON Papers
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 software
before you send your job. See page 3-8 (Macintosh) or page 4-4
(Windows) for instructions.
•
Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer
software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 3-2 (Macintosh) or
page 4-6 (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.
Using Roll Paper
You can use any roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core, up to 44 inches wide
(Stylus Pro 9600) or 24 inches wide (Stylus Pro 7600). Manually switching
from one paper roll to another is a simple process.

printer, see page 1-25 through 1-27. This section covers the following:
