Available Media
This section explains what kinds of paper and media you can use
with your printer. Do not use paper or media not mentioned in
this section.
Note:
The printer is extremely sensitive to moisture. Be sure to store your paper
in a dry environment.
* Use recycled paper only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions. Poor quality paper may reduce print quality, cause paper jams
and other problems.
** Gaps between labels may cause the labels to peel off inside the printer and
damage the printer.
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of media may be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot guarantee the quality
of any type of media. Always test samples of media stock before
purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
