Ericsson SP4900HDR User Manual

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. 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.

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.

To create a configuration for a specific paper type, make sure the paper you 
want to configure is loaded in the printer. Then follow these steps:

1. Press the 

Menu

 button, then press the d button to highlight

2. Press the

Press the 

Menu

 button, then press the d button to select

 to save the platen gap 

setting.

6. Press the l Paper Source button, then the d button to display

Note: It’s a good idea to 
keep a list describing your 
paper configurations.
