Choosing Paper
With this printer you can print on many sizes and types of paper.
You can also use other types of media such as envelopes, labels, and
overhead projector transparencies. This chapter describes the paper
delivery choices and how to select and load paper.
The type of paper you use in your printer directly affects the quality
of your printed output. The printed image is made up of many tiny
dots of toner that are transferred to the paper. If the paper is rough,
the edges of the letters become ragged because some of the dots fall
into indentations on the paper. The smoother the paper you use, the
better your printing looks.
You should use especially smooth paper for printing originals you
plan to use to make reproductions. Because the reproduction process
introduces its own raggedness to the edges of the letters, you want
to start with the best original possible.
For best results, store your paper supply in its original wrapper. The
printer is sensitive to moisture absorbed by the paper. Do not store
paper in a humid or damp environment.
Below are some recommendations for selecting paper and other
print media for the printer.
Note: Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper
may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot
guarantee the use of any particular brand or type of paper.
Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing large
quantities or printing large jobs.
