56 | Handling Paper and Other Media
Guidelines for Using Epson Media
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 driver
software before you send your job. See page 84 (Mac OS X) or page 101
(Windows) for instructions.
• Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer
driver software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 81
(Mac OS X) or page 107 (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.
• Store sheet media on a flat surface.
Using Roll Paper
You can use roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core, up to 24 inches wide (7800)
or 44 inches wide (9800). Manually switching rolls is a simple process.
Check the Epson Pro Graphics web site (http://prographics.epson.com) or
your authorized Epson dealer for available media.
