Handling Paper and Other Media
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 media—especially if you 
use non-Epson paper or a paper not supported by the driver. Use the paper 
configuration settings described below. 
You can create a special configuration, or group of settings, for each paper 
type (up to ten types) and select the desired configuration whenever you 
print on a particular stock.
