Epson 1400 Reference Manual
Printing on special paper
You can print on special paper stock such as heavy paper
(over 24 lb or 90 g/m
2
), envelopes, labels, and transparencies.
When selecting special types of paper or other stock, follow the
recommendations given below.
For printing on special paper, it is usually easier to use manual
feed and print a single sheet at a time. To use manual feed,
select the printer driver’s Manual Feed option (see Chapter 2
for information on printer driver settings) and then send your
print job. The printer waits for you to press the reset button
before it prints a single sheet. If your document contains
multiple pages, you need to press the reset button for each
page.
Envelopes
Load envelopes with the flap-side up and to the left. The
printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because
different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. print
one or two envelopes to check the print quality. If the printing
is too light, adjust the toner density as described in Chapter 3.
Do not use envelopes with metal clasps or fastenings. Also do
not use window envelopes unless they are specially designed
for laser printers. The plastic on most window envelopes can
melt when it comes in contact with the hot fuser.
Labels
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper
copiers. To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with
printer parts, always use labels that completely cover the
backing sheet, with no gaps between the individual labels. You
should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a
sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks, do
not use the labels.
