36 | 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 104 (OS X) or page 62 (Windows) for instructions. • Always select the correct paper source (roll, tray or manual feed) in the driver software. See page 89 (OS X) or page 61 (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. Using Cut Sheet Paper You can print on many types of cut sheet paper and other media. The Epson Stylus Pro 4900 accepts sheets ranging from 8 × 10 inches to 17× 24 inches. Follow these additional guidelines for cut sheet paper: • You can leave your roll paper on the spindle when you print on cut sheets. • Store sheet media on a flat surface in its original package. • If you need to add paper to the cassette, first remove all the paper and then add to the stack that you removed. • If you're using fine art paper or other thick media, you need to load it manually, as described on page 43. 36
