Selecting and Using Print Media
You can use special media, such as labels, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies.
When loading special media, you should make paper settings. You can also make these settings on the
Tray Menu in the control panel. See “Tray Menu” on page 69.
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of media may be changed by the manufacturer at any
time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any type of media. Always test samples of media stock
before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
