2-2 | Using Paper and Other Media Selecting Paper for Your Printer You can print on most types of coated, glossy, plain paper, and other media. The following table lists general paper requirements for your printer: Paper requirements Roll paper Cut sheets Size 8.25 to 44 in. wide (210 to 1118 mm) 8.5 × 11 in. to 44 × 62.2 in. (up to 1118 × 1580 mm) Maximum 2 in. core: 4 in. (103 mm) - external roll diameter 3 in. core: 6 in. (150 mm) Thickness 3.15 to 4.3 mil (0.08 to 0.11 mm) 3.15 to 59 mil (0.08 to 1.5 mm) It's a good idea to test samples of paper in the printer before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs. When you use non-EPSON papers or other media, you may need to "profile" their thickness and ink drying time. See page 2-29 for instructions. Paper Handling Guidelines Always 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 of the paper or other media with bare hands. Fingerprints may affect print quality. Handle media by the edges or use cotton gloves. • Choose an appropriate Media Type setting in your printer software before sending your job. See page 2-7 for instructions. You may have to experiment to find out which setting works best. • 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 4-5 (Windows) to select the paper source in your printer software. • Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry place to avoid a loss of quality. Avoid storing media or printouts where they will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight. 2-2
