84 | Handling Paper and Other Media Note It's a good idea to keep a list describing your paper profiles. Optimizing the Settings for Your Paper When you choose a media type in your EPSON printer software, the driver automatically determines the best settings for your paper. However, you may want to fine-tune how the printer handles various papers-especially if you use non-EPSON paper or a paper not supported by the driver. Use the paper configuration settings described below. If you're printing on unusually thick or thin paper, you may also need to adjust the platen gap; if so, you should do that first (see page 81). When adjusting the paper settings, you can have them affect all your print jobs; or you can create a special profile, or group of settings, for each paper type (up to ten types) and select the desired profile whenever you print on a particular stock. Adjusting the Paper Settings To change paper settings and have them affect all your print jobs, follow the steps below. If you want to create a profile for a specific paper type, see "Creating and Selecting Paper Profiles" on page 85. 1.
