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. The printer feeds most
types of media automatically from the paper cassette, while some
media require hand-feeding for greater control. 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 that
will be used to make reproductions. Because reproduction
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.
Printing 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 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.
